Sharp in no-decision Crawford did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four hits and a walk over five scoreless innings in a 6-3 loss to the Mariners. He struck out five.

Impact Crawford's pitched well since moving into Boston's rotation in early June, holding opponents to three runs or fewer in seven of his 10 outings (48.1 innings) while working to a 3.72 ERA in that span. Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander is 5-5 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 81:19 K:BB across 82 innings this season. Crawford's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Royals in his next outing, where he should be a solid streaming option.

Impact Crawford was tagged for four runs over four innings versus the Mets last Friday, but he responded well. He came up an out short of a quality start in his second strong outing of three since the All-Star break. The right-hander is now at a 3.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 76:18 K:BB through 77 innings across 20 appearances (12 starts). Crawford is projected for a road start in Seattle next week.

The 27-year-old right-hander has a 3.74 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 67:17 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 18 appearances (10 starts). He's tentatively lined up for a home start against the Mets his next time out.

Tosses four frames against Texas Crawford allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact Crawford began with a 1-2-3 first inning, but he gave up three hits in each of the second and fourth frames, resulting in all three of the runs scored against him. The right-hander had gone at least five innings in each of his previous three starts but was given the hook after four frames Thursday. Since moving back into a starting role June 3, Crawford has been mostly unexceptional, posting a 4.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB over 30.2 innings.

Limits Toronto to two runs in win Crawford (3-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

Impact Crawford gave up a leadoff home run to George Springer to open the bottom of the first but was able to keep his composure, allowing just one more run over the next 4.2 innings, which again came on the long ball. The right-hander produced 14 swinging strikes on the afternoon while recording five strikeouts for the third time in his last four starts. Crawford has now won two of his last three decisions, though he's also allowed two home runs in back-back-back starts after not allowing more than one in any of his appearances since April 3 against the Pirates.

Gives up four runs in loss Crawford (2-4) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the White Sox.

Impact Crawford completed six innings for just the second time in 15 appearances (seven starts) this season. Three of the four runs against him came on a pair of Luis Robert home runs, making this the first time Crawford's given up a long ball since May 22. The right-hander now has a 4.01 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 50:10 K:BB over 51.2 innings this season. He's projected to make his next start in Toronto.

Tosses five scoreless Crawford (2-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing six hits over five scoreless innings against the Twins. He struck out five.

Impact Crawford made his sixth start of the season Tuesday -- his third straight after a lengthy stint in the bullpen -- and managed to blank the Twins over five frames. After being limited to 58 pitches after re-entering the rotation, Crawford has managed to throw 80 and 77 pitches in his last two starts. However, Tuesday was his first time pitching into the fifth inning since April 17. Though Crawford owns an overall 3.74 ERA in 13 appearances, he's managed a 5.63 ERA with a 28:5 K:BB in 24 innings as a starter.

Early exit in no-decision Crawford didn't factor into then decision in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Rockies, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander also uncorked two wild pitches in an erratic performance that saw him exit the game with the Red Sox down 4-0, only for his offense to bail him out. Crawford tossed 80 pitches (53 strikes), his biggest workload since his first appearance of the season April 3, but those are also the only two times this year he's been tagged for more than three runs. He might be better suited for long relief, but with Chris Sale (shoulder) out and both Nick Pivetta and Corey Kluber struggling in the bullpen, Crawford may be Boston's best option for the final spot in the rotation. If the 27-year-old gets another turn, he'll take a 4.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB through 40.2 innings into a road start early next week against the Twins.

Will remain in rotation Crawford will remain in the starting rotation, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Crawford gets a vote of confidence even after giving up three runs on five hits in his loss to the Guardians on Wednesday. The right-hander was limited to just 58 pitches in that outing, and it's likely he won't be able to work deep into games in his next couple of starts. Still, Crawford has mostly been a strong option for the Red Sox, and he'll get at least a couple more chances to prove he belongs as a rotation member.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses three innings in spot start Crawford (1-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits over three innings against the Guardians. He struck out three and didn't issue a walk.

Impact Crawford, who's been operating as a reliever since late April, got the spot start with Chris Sale (shoulder) moving to the injured list, and as expected, the right-hander was limited to just 58 pitches (41 strikes). He figures to stick in the rotation moving forward, but his workload will presumably remain restricted for another start or two while he gets stretched back out. Crawford's next outing is projected for a three-game home stand versus the Rockies.

Confirmed for Wednesday Crawford is listed as the Red Sox's starting pitcher for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Impact Just as manager Alex Cora suggested would be the case earlier in the week, Crawford will fill the opening in the Boston rotation that was created by Chris Sale's (shoulder) move to the injured list last weekend. Because he's largely been serving as a reliever since late April, Crawford hasn't tossed more than four innings or 52 pitches in any of his last seven outings in the majors, so he may have some workload restrictions in place for a start or two while he gets stretched back out.
