Kutter Crawford Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (wrist) is expected to begin camp with the rest of the pitching staff, according to president of baseball operations Craig Breslow (via Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic). Crawford resumed throwing earlier this month, and as long as he stays healthy through spring training, he should compete for an Opening Day roster spot. The competition won't be easy, though. The Red Sox added Ranger Suarez and Sonny Gray behind Garrett Crochet this offseason, and Brayan Bello should earn the No. 4 starter role if he's not traded. Assuming Boston opens the year with a five-man rotation, that leaves one spot for Crawford, Johan Oviedo, Patrick Sandoval (elbow), Connelly Early, Payton Tolle, or Kyle Harrison. The pitchers who don't make the Opening Day rotation will end up in the bullpen or Triple-A. Crawford is the most familiar face of that group, racking up 313 innings between 2023 and 2024. During the 2024 campaign, he made a whopping 33 starts, posting a 4.35 xFIP, 8.6 K/9, and 2.5 BB/9. He missed all of last year due to wrist surgery.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (wrist) has progressed to throwing off the mound. Crawford is reportedly a bit behind schedule, but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. He missed all of the 2025 campaign due to a wrist issue that required surgery. Crawford has been a viable back-end option for the Red Sox, but it's unclear if he'll remain in the starting rotation. The expectation is that youngsters Connelly Early and Payton Tolle will make a push for a rotational spot. Also, Patrick Sandoval and recently acquired Johan Oviedo should get a chance to earn a spot in camp. Crawford could end up in a swingman-type role, which could be beneficial to the Red Sox, but won't offer much long-term fantasy value.

The Boston Red Sox and starting pitcher Kutter Crawford have agreed to a one-year, $2.75 million contract to avoid arbitration, according to the Washington Times Sports. Crawford did not pitch last season after beginning the year on the injured list with a knee injury, and he underwent surgery on his wrist in July. The 29-year-old led the Red Sox with 183 2/3 innings in his breakout 2024 season, pitching to a 4.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 16.3% K-BB%. Crawford has experience as both a starter and a reliever, and it remains to be seen how Boston will deploy him in 2026.

Boston Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford (wrist) is recovering well from the surgery that he had on his right wrist back on July 2, which was a procedure that ended his season. He anticipates that he will be throwing by October, leading to the hope that he will be ready by Spring Training. It has been a rough year for Crawford, who will end up not pitching at all in 2025. Following a breakout season in 2024, where he finished with a 4.36 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP, he started the season on the injured list with right patellar tendiopathy. While he was rehabbing, the right-hander injured himself with an off-field incident while doing yardwork at home. His progress this offseason will be something to monitor, as he could be an option late in 2026 drafts.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (wrist) underwent wrist surgery on July 2 to repair the stabilizing sheath in his right wrist, according to a report from MassLive's Christopher Smith. Crawford will "most likely" miss the remainder of the 2025 season as a result of the injury. It's been a completely lost year for the 29-year-old right-hander, as he began the year on the injured list with patellar tendinopathy in his right knee. The wrist injury occurred in an undisclosed off-field incident before he could start a rehab assignment for the knee injury. Crawford was a useful arm for Boston in 2023, going 9-16 in 183 2/3 innings (33 starts) with a 4.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 175 strikeouts. If he's able to work his way back to full strength in time for the 2026 season, he should be back on the radar of fantasy managers.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford (wrist) will undergo surgery on his right wrist, according to manager Alex Cora, and he is "most likely" to miss the rest of the season. Crawford will end up missing the entire 2025 campaign after initially beginning the regular season on the injured list with a right-knee injury that he began dealing with in the offseason. Once the 29-year-old goes under the knife, the BoSox should have a better idea of how long he'll be out before he's able to resume a throwing progression. The former 16th-round selection in 2017 out of Florida Gulf Coast University made a career-high 33 starts last year and went 9-16 with a 4.36 ERA (4.65 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with 175 strikeouts, 51 walks and a league-high 34 home runs allowed in 183 2/3 innings. If he's healthy by spring training next year, Crawford should compete for a rotation spot in Boston.

The Boston Red Sox have shut down starter Kutter Crawford (wrist/knee) after he felt more pain in his injured right wrist, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. The righty will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the issue. This is the second time in the past few weeks that the Red Sox have had to pause Crawford's rehab because of his wrist. He hasn't pitched at all this year after starting the season on the injured list with right-patellar tendinopathy. The 29-year-old made a career-high 33 starts a season ago and posted a 4.36 ERA with 8.58 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 183 2/3 innings. Crawford could factor into Boston's rotation this summer if he comes back, but it's up in the air whether he'll be able to pitch at all in 2025.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (knee/wrist) will throw a bullpen session on Friday, reports Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. He also threw a bullpen on Tuesday, which must have gone smoothly with another one already scheduled. This is good news for the right-hander, who had his rehab paused after experiencing wrist pain while throwing a couple of weeks ago. The original injury that has kept him out all season was right patellar tendinopathy. The 29-year-old will continue to work his way back to hopefully improve on the 4.36 ERA and 1.12 WHIP he posted in 2024, although a spot in Boston's rotation may be tough to come by after they acquired Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison to add depth.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Kutter Crawford (knee, wrist) wasn't "feeling great," which is why he's back to playing catch instead of throwing bullpen sessions. It's a setback for Crawford, who has yet to pitch in 2025. The 29-year-old made a career-high 33 starts last year, lost a league-high 16 games and allowed a league-high 34 home runs, and then injured his knee in spring training. A wrist injury has given him problems of late, and he doesn't appear to be close to returning from the 60-day injured list. At this point, fantasy managers in deeper leagues shouldn't expect Crawford back until sometime in the second half of the season. When/if Crawford makes it back in 2025, he won't be guaranteed a spot in Boston's starting rotation and might be ticketed for a long-relief role.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Kutter Crawford's (knee, wrist) doesn't have any structural damage with his wrist and has been sent back to Fort Myers, Florida, to throw a bullpen session this weekend and see how he feels. Crawford hasn't pitched all year while rehabbing from right-patellar tendinopathy and then recently had his minor-league rehab assignment paused due to pain in his wrist. The 29-year-old could restart his rehab assignment sometime next week if he gets through his bullpen this weekend feeling good. Based on how slowly things have gone for Crawford in 2025, there's no guarantee that he'll be able to make his season debut before the All-Star break in mid-July. The former 16th-rounder in 2017 out of Florida Gulf Coast University made a career-high 33 starts in 2024 and allowed a league-high 34 homers with a career-low 8.6 K/9 in 183 2/3 innings.
