Wil Crowe News
The Pittsburgh Pirates released/non-tendered relief pitcher Wil Crowe (shoulder) on Tuesday, cutting ties with a former starter and quality reliever in 2022 who struggled in 2023. The 29-year-old right-hander made just five relief appearances this past season before landing on the 60-day injured list with a shoulder injury. He also made 14 appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis after he was designated for assignment on July 19. In 9 2/3 innings at the big-league level, he gave up six runs (five earned) while walking nine and striking out nine. Crowe's flexibility as an option to start games should help his cause when it comes to landing another contract with another team this offseason.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will designate relief pitcher Wil Crowe (shoulder) for assignment once he comes off the 60-day injured list. Crowe initially came to Pittsburgh as one half of the Josh Bell trade. He had been rehabbing at Triple-A Indianapolis and was close to rejoining the team. The 28-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched for the Pirates since late April due to a right-shoulder injury, but he's looked good during his minor-league rehab assignment and could be claimed off waivers by another team to add bullpen depth. Crowe had one save and allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits while walking nine and striking out nine over 9 2/3 relief innings for Pittsburgh before getting hurt earlier this year. He's off the fantasy radar for now.
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Wil Crowe (shoulder) began a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on July 2 and has tossed 3 1/3 scoreless frames since then, allowing two hits while walking one and striking out two in three outings (one start). If he can avoid any setbacks with his right shoulder, he should rejoin Pittsburgh's bullpen shortly after this week's All-Star break. Before going on the injured list, the 28-year-old right-hander had a 4.66 ERA (5.87 FIP), 1.86 WHIP, one save, nine walks and nine strikeouts in 9 2/3 relief innings for the Bucs. When healthy, he will operate as an important setup man before closer David Bednar, making him an option in fantasy leagues that count holds.
