2024 Fantasy Outlook
After eight starts, Pivetta was sporting a 6.30 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and nine homers allowed in 40 innings. He was moved to a multi-inning relief role where he excelled, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 12 appearances spanning 20 frames. He fanned 25 with just one homer in that stretch. Pivetta spent the last three months of the season jumping between the rotation and serving as a bulk reliever, registering a 3.27 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over his final 82.2 innings, punching out 116 while surrendering a reasonable 13 homers. Pivetta's velocity picked up after he was initially demoted to the bullpen, and he started throwing his slider with more cutting action, both tweaks fueling Pivetta's second half success. He's a bit of a wild card this season as Pivetta exhibited success in several roles, and seemed to be at his best when he wasn't expected to pitch more than five frames, though he ended the season with two scoreless seven-inning starts. Pivetta's second half success can't be ignored, but paying for a repeat is a precarious proposition. Read Past Outlooks
Strikes out nine in no-decision
Pivetta allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The only run Pivetta allowed came on an Emmanuel Rivera solo shot in the third inning. The right-handed hurler was otherwise excellent, notching his highest strikeout total since he tallied 10 punchouts against Seattle on July 29. Pivetta has been on a nice roll of late, notching three straight quality starts during which he's allowed just four runs while posting a 21:5 K:BB over 18 frames.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Pivetta struggled early and late in 2022 with a 6.52 ERA between his first five and final eight outings of the season, but he pitched much better during the heart of the campaign with a 3.62 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 118:38 K:BB across his other 20 starts. Now entering his age-30 season, Pivetta lost a tick off his fastball and saw his strikeout rate drop nearly four percentage points to 22.6 percent compared to 2021, and he had a career-worst 45.4 percent hard-hit rate. He has a 4.54 ERA across 63 starts for Boston across the past two seasons and has a secure rotation spot heading into 2023, but his inconsistency makes him a difficult option to trust for fantasy managers. Pivetta's best value is likely to come as a streaming option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Surprise deadline departure?
Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com believes the Red Sox "should really listen" to trade offers for Pivetta, given significant return packages in deals thus far.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander is making $7.5 million in the final year of his contract, and he has a 4.47 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 112:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings this season. Boston is in need of rotation depth and recently acquired James Paxton from the Dodgers, but Pivetta's expiring contract would make him expendable for the right return package, even with the Red Sox still pushing for a playoff spot.
