It’s a homecoming of types for Garrett Crochet, returning to Assured Fee Area for the primary time since his commerce to the Boston Crimson Sox. Though, as was talked about in the course of the winter, over his 4 years in Chicago Crochet made solely 32 begins — all coming final 12 months. The remainder of the time was bullpen work.
