Kutter Crawford Throws Bullpen On Friday
16 seconds agoThe Athletic's Jen McCaffrey reports that Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford (knee) is throwing a bullpen session at camp on Friday as he manages a bit of knee soreness this spring. Crawford is a bit behind Boston's other pitchers while managing some patellar-tendon soreness in his knee, but as long as he doesn't have any kind of setback, he has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The 28-year-old had a league-high 16 losses in his fourth season with the Red Sox last year and also posted a 4.36 ERA (4.65 FIP), 1.12 WHIP and 175:51 K:BB in 183 2/3 innings over his 33 starts. Crawford also led baseball by allowing 34 home runs. The career-high workload probably led to his career-high 36.3% hard-hit rate and regression in strikeout rate (23.1%). If he's healthy, he'll be in the starting rotation and will be a depth arm in deeper fantasy formats.
