2026 Fantasy Outlook
After breaking out as a full-time starter with the White Sox in 2024, Crochet was traded to the Red Sox last winter and established himself as one of the best pitchers in MLB during 2025. He posted an 18-5 record with a 2.59 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 46 walks across 205.1 innings while leading the league with 255 strikeouts. Despite setting a career-high workload by nearly 60 innings, the left-hander still averaged 97.6 mph on his fastball and maintained excellent control, with his 5.7 percent walk rate ranking 10th among qualified starters. Now entering his age-27 season and third year as a full-time starter, it's possible Crochet has yet to reach his ceiling. He's already a true ace with a high floor given his strikeout numbers, and he'll enter 2026 as one of the top candidates for the AL Cy Young Award. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $141.5 million contract extension with the Red Sox in March of 2025. Contract includes $30 million player option for 2031, barring 120 days spent on IL with left arm injury in 2030. Contract includes $2 million trade assignment bonus. $15 million team option available for 2032 if 120 days spent on IL with left arm injury in 2031. Contract includes $2 million escalator for first-place Cy Young Award finish, $1.5 million for second or third place, $1 million for fourth or fifth place and $500,000 for sixth through 10th place.
Not cleared to throw yet
Crochet (shoulder/lat) has not yet been cleared to resume a throwing program following a scheduled re-evaluation Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Crochet's left shoulder and lat are "improving," but not enough that he's ready to throw. Crochet landed on the injured list in late April with left shoulder inflammation and then encountered a setback in early June when he sustained a low-grade left lat strain. The southpaw has been throwing a plyometric ball, but a timetable for his return won't become clearer until he ramps up a throwing program.

2021
Crochet's career trajectory has been anything but traditional as he made his MLB debut for the White Sox in 2020 without first playing in the minors, and he transitioned to the starting rotation in 2024 without having previously made a professional start. The left-hander was dominant despite being on the worst team in the history of MLB, and he finished the campaign with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB over 146 innings. Chicago elected not to trade him at the summer deadline and heavily monitored his workload across the final three months of the season, during which he never pitched more than four innings. He also labored in those final 14 starts with a 4.84 ERA, but those struggles aren't a major surprise given it was his first season as a professional starter. The Red Sox acquired Crochet for a package of prospects this winter, so he'll be pitching his home games in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the game but should also get much better run support and defense than the White Sox gave him a year ago.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to return before break
Crochet, who's dealing with a shoulder injury, isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive. "I think it would take a huge leap to say I'd be back before [the All-Star break]", Crochet said Friday.
Analysis
Crochet is also dealing with a lat strain while rehabbing from left shoulder inflammation, and as a result, the 26-year-old southpaw isn't expected to return to the big-league roster in the coming weeks. Crochet hasn't pitched for the Red Sox since April 26, when he tossed six shutout innings in a win against the Orioles. Crochet owns a 6.30 ERA across six starts this season, though that elevated figure is mainly due to an April 13 outing versus Minnesota in which he gave up 10 earned runs.
