Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Crawford was one of the bright spots amidst a rocky season for the Red Sox' starting pitchers. It took until June for the right-hander to find a permanent spot in the rotation, but once that happened he posted a 4.20 ERA (3.64 FIP), 1.15 WHIP and 105:30 K:BB over 98.2 innings covering 21 starts the rest of the way. Crawford has one of the most effective four-seamers in baseball, an offering with elite spin which produced a 26 percent whiff rate. The 27-year-old's arsenal is also deep, with five additional pitches which all induced whiffs at at least a 20 percent rate. Crawford is a flyball pitcher who can be homer-prone at times, but he should have a spot in Boston's rotation locked up heading into 2024 and his arrow is pointing up. Read Past Outlooks
Stung by rough second inning
Crawford (2-4) took the loss against Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Crawford was excellent outside of the second inning -- he gave up five runs on three hits, a walk and a hit batter in that frame, with the big blow being a grand slam by Gunnar Henderson. The right-hander did hold the Orioles scoreless on one hit the rest of the way, but the damage was too much to overcome against Baltimore starter Corbin Burnes. Crawford has surrendered 11 runs over 10.1 innings across his past two starts, pushing his season ERA to 3.29. It sat at 2.17 prior to the two-game downturn.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working deeper into games
Crawford has covered at least six innings during each of his past four starts after doing so just once in his first four starts of the campaign.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander added muscle to his lower half during the offseason in an attempt to improve his stamina and pitch deeper into games, per Sean McAdam of The Springfield Republican, and the early-season results are encouraging. Crawford worked as a swingman with starts in 23 of his 31 outings last season, and he averaged less than five frames in those starts. The 28-year-old's offseason training has likely made an impact, but he's also been more effective in 2024 with a 1.75 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 46:15 K:BB across 46.1 innings. Regardless, Crawford has been a pivotal rotation piece as the Red Sox have dealt with the absences of Nick Pivetta and Brayan Bello due to elbow and lat injuries, respectively.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Crawford throws the kitchen sink at hitters, which yes, includes a cutter. He lacks the pure stuff of some of the arms in the system, but he will take the ball as a reliever or as a starter as he is just happy to be part of the team and good lord willing, he can help the team win one game at a time. All cliches aside, his numbers are fascinating in that his four-seam fastball had an actual batting average against of .316, but the xBA was 69 points lower and the pitch had a 26% Whiff rate to it. He started using a slider last season as he worked to reduce the usage of his meh curveball, and that is something to watch as the pitch debuted nicely with a 42% whiff rate with a .174 xBA as he used it exclusively against righties. The larger problem has been his attack versus lefties has not gone well as the league lefties hit .275/.367/.600 against him last season. If those splits cannot get better, Crawford's fantasy value could come as a swing man in a bullpen backing up a health-risk riddled rotation.
