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
RANKSFrom Preseason

ADP
Fans nine in no-decision
Criswell did not factor into the decision Saturday versus the Nationals, permitting two runs on three hits and a walk over five frames. He struck out nine.
ANALYSIS
Criswell was dinged by a couple solo home runs; one in the second inning by Joey Meneses and another in the fourth hit by Eddie Rosario. Aside from that, Criswell yielded only one other hit, and his nine punchouts were a career high. Criswell was pulled after five with his pitch count at just 79, as the Red Sox are continuing to keep a close eye on his workload as he transitions from the bullpen (he hasn't thrown more than 83 pitches in a start and has yet to record an out beyond the fifth inning). He's been awfully effective when on the bump, though, with his ERA actually going up to 2.10 after Saturday's outing. Criswell is slated to face his former club, the Rays, his next time out.

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.
