Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: No plans to change mix
Garrett Crochet said last Friday that he doesn't intend to have any radical change to his pitch mix for the upcoming season, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.Crochet toyed with a sinker late last season and felt it gave him a fifth pitch to throw at any time, but the left-hander indicated he won't deviate much from the four-seamer/cutter usage this season. He made quite the jump in 2024, moving from the bullpen to the rotation while throwing 146 innings over 32 starts. Crochet projects as Boston's No. 1 starter.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Another four-inning start
Garrett Crochet didn't factor into the decision Friday against Detroit, allowing four hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out six.Crochet's workload decreased dramatically down the stretch, though he was still impressive in limited work, allowing just one run over 12 innings in his final three outings. It was a breakthrough season overall for the left-hander, who proved to be one of the Chicago White Sox's few bright spots. Crochet will finish the year at 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB across 146 innings.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Dazzles in four-inning start
Garrett Crochet allowed one hit and struck out eight without walking a batter over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Friday.Crochet's workload limit continues to shrink -- he threw 38 of 52 pitches for strikes in this impressive but short outing. He's reached four innings in seven of his 12 outings since he was placed on a pitch count, but he hasn't gone farther over that span. Overall, Crochet has a 3.68 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 203:32 K:BB through 142 innings over 31 starts. His last outing is projected to be a home start versus the Angels next week, though he shouldn't be expected to throw more than 50 pitches or last long enough to qualify for a win.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Suffers 12th loss
Garrett Crochet (6-12) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks over four innings against Oakland. He struck out four.The southpaw was saddled with his third straight loss despite this solid 56-pitch performance, as the Chicago White Sox continue to limit his workload as the season winds down. Crochet has not reached the fifth inning in 12 straight starts, and his 138 innings in 2024 has already more than doubled his prior career high of 54.1 frames, set back in 2021. Things haven't been pretty over those dozen outings, either. The 25-year-old has gone 0-6 with a 5.89 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 36.2 innings over that span. He is currently projected to make his next short start against the Angels on the road next week.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Lasts two innings Saturday
Garrett Crochet (6-11) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over two innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Saturday.Crochet's workload continues to drop as part of the Chicago White Sox's plan to trim his innings. He wasn't particularly good in this game either -- he needed 51 pitches to get through two frames, laboring through a four-run first inning by Boston. While he's maintained a 3.83 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 191:32 K:BB over 134 innings across 29 starts this season, his current workload all but guarantees he won't pitch deep enough to be eligible for wins unless he's ultra efficient. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics, but Crochet has limited fantasy utility over the remainder of 2024.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Big strikeout numbers in loss
Garrett Crochet (6-10) allowed one run on three hits while striking out eight over 3.1 innings in a loss to the Mets on Sunday.Crochet struck out the first seven batters he faced and saw the minimum through three innings. Francisco Lindor opened up the fourth with a home run, and Crochet wasn't afforded the opportunity to finish the inning after allowing two more base hits and eventually being pulled with one out in the frame after throwing just 57 pitches. The hard-throwing lefty hasn't reached five innings in a start since June 30, but he now has 21 strikeouts over his last 11.1 frames. For the year, Crochet owns a 3.61 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 188:31 K:BB in 132 innings. He lines up to make his next start on the road against the Red Sox over the weekend.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Making next start Sunday
Garrett Crochet is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Mets at Guaranteed Rate Field.Even though Crochet tossed just four pitches in his most recent start Tuesday against the Rangers before the game was suspended due to inclement weather, the Chicago White Sox still treated it as a full turn through the rotation for the southpaw. He'll return to the mound Sunday on four days' rest, but despite his light usage Tuesday, Crochet shouldn't be expected to work deep into his upcoming outing. Over his last nine starts, he hasn't covered more than four innings in any outing and owns a 5.93 ERA and 1.61 WHIP during that stretch.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Throws four pitches, next start TBD
Garrett Crochet threw four pitches in his start Tuesday against the Rangers before the game was suspended due to inclement weather.The Chicago White Sox and Rangers will resume the suspended game as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, but Crochet isn't expected to be available for either contest after he went through a full warmup before Tuesday's contest was called in the top of the first inning. Per LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune, Chris Flexen is slated to "start" in the resumption of the suspended game Wednesday, while the White Sox are likely to treat the originally scheduled game as a bullpen day. The White Sox haven't revealed when Crochet might pitch next, but assuming he sticks to his usual four-day rest schedule, he would tentatively line up to make his next start Sunday versus the Mets. Crochet has now covered four innings or less in each of his last nine starts, making it difficult to extract much fantasy value from him.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Fans four in four-inning start
Garrett Crochet allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Wednesday.Chicago White Sox interim manager Grady Sizemore announced Wednesday that Crochet will be be on a workload limit for the rest of the campaign, so it's no surprise that he was pulled after four innings and 57 pitches. The left-hander may have gone a bit longer, though, if he hadn't faded in his final frame, allowing a pair of runs on three hits after beginning his outing with three scoreless, one-hit innings. Crochet managed a healthy 11 whiffs despite his low pitch count, and his four punchouts pushed him to 180 on the campaign. He still has a good chance to reach 200 strikeouts by the end of the season, but even that's not a given since Sizemore said Wednesday that Crochet's workload could "slowly decrease" as the season winds down.
