Kutter Crawford Stats

Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford entered the fantasy conversation when he joined the team's rotation earlier this summer. The swingman will try leave one lasting impression in his new role during Saturday's start against the Baltimore Orioles. Let's just say the figures haven't been pretty for Crawford versus the O's in the past; he's been slammed for 11 runs (four homers) in just 3 2/3 innings of work. It sounds like a shy-away scenario for fantasy managers searching for a late-week pitching streamer, as the 27-year-old looks best suited on benches under most circumstances.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford picked up a no-decision in Sunday's 6-3 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Sunday. In the outing, Crawford allowed only two earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out two in 4 2/3 innings of work. Length has been an issue for the 27-year-old, as he hasn't gone beyond the fifth inning in any of his last five starts despite pitching well during that span. Since July 21, Crawford has a 3.97 ERA (4.55 FIP), five walks and 22 strikeouts in 22 2/3 frames in five starts. In his third year in the big leagues, Crawford has gone 5-6 with a career-best 3.80 ERA (4.18 FIP), 1.13 WHIP, 22 walks and 89 strikeouts in 90 innings over 23 appearances (15 starts).

Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford will remain a part of the team's starting rotation going forward. Boston turns to a six-man rotation with Chris Sale (shoulder) on the 60-day IL and several swingmen in their pitching staff. It puts Crawford on the deep-league radar with room to grow, holding a decent 3.68 ERA and 1.01 WHIP plus 36 strikeouts over 36 2/3 innings this season. It may not be long before the 27-year-old is fully stretched out, either, as he withstood 6 1/3 innings back on April 17. Crawford possesses a superb 4.1% walk rate to go with a soft 85.7% average exit velocity against. The righty leads all starting pitchers with 62 chases over their last 300 pitches. Crawford is positioned to deal to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, when he will denote a very plausible streaming option.
