Kutter Crawford In Doubt For Opening Day
15 seconds agoBoston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford (knee) may not be ready for Opening Day. The right-hander has been battling patellar tendon soreness. He recently completed a bullpen session on Friday but is still behind schedule. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during camp, but he may face an uphill battle to ramp up in time for Opening Day. This injury popped up sometime in the offseason. When healthy, Crawford is expected to operate in the back half of the starting rotation. If the 28-year-old were to miss time early in the campaign, Cooper Criswell or Richard Fitts could be given starting opportunities. Last season, Crawford held a 4.36 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP across 183 2/3 innings of work.
