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
Suffers sixth consecutive loss
Crawford (8-15) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
Crawford has now lost six consecutive starts, despite Sunday representing the first time within that span that he's allowed more than three runs or failed to toss at least five innings. The Yankees got to him for a single run in the second, then tallied three additional runs in the third thanks to homers by Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge. Crawford has now been touched up for 33 home runs across 31 starts and 171.2 innings this season. He'll look to keep the ball in the yard during his next start, scheduled to take place at home against the Twins.

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.

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.
