Red Sox News & Links: Caleb Durbin’s surgery, an early look at free agency, and more

The Boston Red Sox offseason is shaping up with medical updates and roster questions. Outfielder Caleb Durbin underwent surgery to repair a dislocated pinky finger, an injury that persisted since June but did not affect his play.

Meanwhile, the team faces uncertainty around players like Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony, whose misdiagnosed injuries cut short their seasons, raising concerns about the medical staff’s approach. The Red Sox also must navigate the potential promotion of prospect Franklin Arias, which could force positional shifts for veterans like Trevor Story and Curtis Mead.

Off the field, the team is already eyeing free agency, with Sonny Gray’s potential departure opening up rotation discussions as early as this winter.
