2024 Fantasy Outlook
Criswell spent the year in the Rays organization, mostly toiling for Triple-A Durham, but he also compiled 33 frames in 10 appearances with the big club serving as a multi-inning reliever. Criswell started in 17 of his 23 appearances with the Bulls, fanning 80 with 23 walks in 84.2 innings for a 15.4 percent K-BB%. He was unable to match that with the Rays as he recorded a 10.6 percent K-BB%, along with surrendering six homers in those 33 innings. Small sample caveats apply, but Criswell incurred some misfortune with a .330 BABIP, 68.7 percent left on base mark and a 19.4 percent home run per fly ball. The result was a 5.73 ERA, deemed over a run too high by its estimators. When Tampa Bay gives up on a pitcher, there is usually a reason, but that did not dissuade the Red Sox from signing Criswell, ostensibly for bullpen depth. It's hard to envision Criswell entering the fantasy mix. Read Past Outlooks

Roughed up in loss
Criswell (2-2) took the loss Monday against Baltimore, yielding seven runs (six earned) on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
Criswell didn't allow a home run, but he gave up four doubles and a triple in his worst outing of the season thus far. The 27-year-old had not allowed more than three earned runs in any appearance before Monday, and his ERA ballooned from 2.86 to 3.96 as a result. The right-hander's two strikeouts Monday represented his lowest tally since April 18, and he will look to improve on that number in his next scheduled start, tentatively slated for this weekend against Detroit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to join rotation?
The Red Sox placed Nick Pivetta on the injured list with a flexor strain Tuesday, which could open up a rotation spot for Criswell.
ANALYSIS
Criswell last pitched for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday and won't be an option to start in place of Pivetta on Wednesday, but he's otherwise a logical candidate to step into the rotation after posting a 2.95 ERA while competing for a spot during spring training. Criswell is also off to a strong start at Worcester this season with just one run allowed and a 9:3 K:BB over 10.1 innings through two outings. The Red Sox could also move up the rest of their rotation, in which case they would need another starter Saturday, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.
