Nick Pivetta News
Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta is getting the nod on the bump for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees. Monday's scheduled starter for the Red Sox, Kutter Crawford, will be pushed back to the second game of Tuesday's twin bill. Now that lefty James Paxton (knee) has been shut down for the rest of the year, Pivetta will finish the season in Boston's rotation. The 30-year-old will be making his 13th start of 2023 on Tuesday. He's gone 9-8 with a 4.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save and 150 K's in 117 innings over 34 outings. Pivetta hasn't been as good in his 12 starts, posting a 5.87 ERA while allowing 64 hits (15 home runs), walking 26 and striking out 72 in 61 1/3 frames.
Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Nick Pivetta will start on Monday against the Seattle Mariners. Pivetta has been working mostly in a bulk relief role for the Bo-Sox, but he has had a few shorter outings as well. He hasn't been pitching every fifth day either, so his role has been very unconventional. Pivetta has been excellent since being moved to the bullpen, though, pitching to a 1.96 ERA in 41 innings of work. If this start on Monday signifies a change in his role, it could mean he becomes more viable in fantasy. He might be worth a flier in standard or deeper leagues to see if he can replicate the success he found out of the bullpen.
Despite making Boston Red Sox history in Monday's shutout win over the Oakland Athletics, right-hander Nick Pivetta will pitch again in a bulk-relief role on Sunday night against the New York Mets. "At one point, probably, he needs to start because we're going to play (16) in a row. For now, this is the structure we like," manager Alex Cora said. The Red Sox will play 16 games in a row, starting on Aug. 15. The 30-year-old struck out a franchise-high 13 hitters in relief in six scoreless innings as the bulk reliever on Monday against the last-place A's, but he'll continue in his long-relief role for now. Pivetta came into his excellent performance on Monday with a 4.83 ERA (4.72 FIP), 1.29 WHIP, 31 walks and 81 K's in 69 innings over 22 outings (eight starts) for Boston. The Canadian has been much better out of the bullpen, posting a 2.79 ERA with 39 K's in 29 innings in 14 outings since his last start on May 16.
