Nick Pivetta Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Nick Pivetta received a qualifying offer, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Pivetta will now have until November 19 to accept the offer or choose to test free agency. This past summer, the 31-year-old posted a 4.14 ERA and 1.13 WHIP, with a solid 36:172 BB:K ratio across 145 2/3 innings of work. Pivetta generated strikeouts at an elite 28.9% mark thanks to his sweeper, then generated an impressive 35.0% whiff rate. In addition, he also showed solid command with a 6.1% walk rate but struggled with allowing hard contact as he held a 10.1% barrel rate. Fantasy managers should view the 31-year-old as a safe bet for strikeouts with risk, given his hard contact rates heading into the 2025 season.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta technically made his first relief appearance of the season in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays. The game, which was a resumption of the June 26 matchup, picked up in the second inning. Pivetta pitched six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with 10 strikeouts. The 31-year-old is now 4-9 with a 4.61 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and a 10.91 K/9 rate in 111 1/3 IP. His numbers would be more appealing overall for fantasy purposes if not for his high 1.94 HR/9 rate, which has likely impacted his ERA. He is slated to face a favorable matchup at the Tigers in his next start, where, hopefully, he should have a better chance of keeping the ball in the yard.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and is in line to return to the rotation to start on Thursday at Camden Yards against the hosting division-rival Baltimore Orioles. Pivetta missed a month of action in the first half of the season due to injury. The 31-year-old is healthy now, but the Red Sox decided to give him a little break after he allowed 13 runs (12 earned) on 18 hits (six homers) while walking two and striking out 21 in 14 innings in his last three starts. The Canadian hurler has a solid 29.9% strikeout rate and career-best 5.9% walk rate but has been hurt by the long ball. Pivetta is fully capable of finishing strong for fantasy managers in mixed leagues to close out the year, but his next start on Thursday against one of the best offenses in the league isn't ideal from a streaming perspective.

Boston Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta is doing well and is expected to be back for the team on either Wednesday or Thursday this coming week. If he starts on Wednesday, he will pitch the series finale against the Texas Rangers; if he pitches on Thursday, he will get the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. On the season, the veteran right-hander has five wins, a 4.44 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and 117 strikeouts in 95 innings. The Red Sox are fighting for their playoff lives with a 61-53 record going into play Saturday night, so a return from Pivetta will certainly give their chances a lift.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta is reportedly going to be skipped in the rotation next time around. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as it doesn't sound like it's injury related. Instead, the Red Sox are skipping Pivetta in the rotation for rest purposes. The right-hander saw a drop in velocity during his last outing. The Red Sox want to be cautious and give Pivetta time to rest his arm. The team didn't announce who is going to make the start in his place.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta continued to strike hitters out in Monday's 14-7 win over the Mariners. Pivetta pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits (including two home runs) and a walk with 10 strikeouts. The 31-year-old has now reached 10 strikeouts in three of his last five starts. He is 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA, an 11.12 K/9 rate, a 2.18 BB/9 rate, and a 1.69 HR/9 rate in 17 starts and 90 2/3 IP. This start highlighted several themes of Pivetta's career, as he has always shown high strikeout upside but has also struggled to keep the ball in the park. He will look to keep things rolling in his next start, which will come on the road against a middling Rangers lineup.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta tossed a quality start for his club in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Pivetta threw six shutout innings while allowing two hits, walking one, and notching eight strikeouts but he had to settle for a no-decision on a quiet night for the Boston bats. The 31-year-old hurler is putting together a solid season for the Sox, posting a 4-6 record, 3.87 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 96 strikeouts over 81 1/3 innings of work. Pivetta's next start is scheduled to come on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta will draw a tough assignment in his first start out of the All-Star break when he heads to the mound for Friday's series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Pivetta produced a nice first half for the BoSox, striking out 88 batters and walking just 20 with a strong 1.11 WHIP across 75 1/3 innings of action. Fantasy managers will want to see the 31-year-old Canadian right-hander improve on his mediocre 4.18 ERA in 14 starts, though. While there's reason to believe Pivetta's ability to stabilize ratios for fantasy managers will translate to greater success overall down the stretch, he'll be hard to trust on Friday against a vaunted Dodgers offense that ranks third in runs scored (479) and home runs (129) this season.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta racked up 10 strikeouts in Wednesday's solid start against the visiting Oakland Athletics, but he was still saddled with the loss. Pivetta gave up four runs on six hits and two on Wednesday, but after fanning Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers for his 10th strikeout, he tied Roger Clemens for the second time this season with his eighth consecutive punchout. The 31-year-old right-hander sports some impressive ratios with an 88:20 K:BB over 75 1/3 frames for the Red Sox in 2024, but his 4.18 ERA leaves a bit to be desired, as he puts the ball in the air too often.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta diced up the Miami Marlins on Thursday, striking out 10 in what ended up being a 6-5 extra-innings win. It was a tough-luck no-decision for Pivetta in this one, as he didn't allow a run in his seven innings of work and left with a 2-0 lead. He only gave up one hit and two walks on the day as the Marlins were completely overmatched by the righty. It had been a struggle for Pivetta in his previous four starts, where he saw his ERA climb from 3.40 to 4.52, but this game showed his immense upside and the reason it is hard to get away from him in fantasy.
