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
Sharp in first win
Crawford (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a 4-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out six.
ANALYSIS
The quality start was Crawford's second of the season, but Saturday's outing was the fifth straight in which he gave up one run or less. The right-hander generated a dominant 37 called or swinging strikes among his 100 pitches, and he'll take a stellar 0.66 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB through 27.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Cubs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not extension candidate
According to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe, Crawford hasn't been approached by the Red Sox regarding an extension.
ANALYSIS
Crawford will be arbitration eligible for the first time in 2025, but the Red Sox apparently aren't yet interested in working toward an extension. The right-hander took a major step forward last season with a 4.04 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 135:36 K:BB over 129.1 innings, and additional improvements this year could prompt the organization to reach out. Crawford is penciled in to make his 2024 debut Saturday in Seattle.

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.
