Kutter Crawford a Candidate to Start Season on Injured List
Boston Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford (knee, wrist, illness) is in the mix for the No. 5 starting rotation spot to begin the 2026 season, but MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo also reports that he "could start the year on the injured list." Crawford is behind the other starting candidates at spring training and has not faced hitters yet, and a bout with the flu delayed his progress early in camp as he works his way back from knee and wrist injuries that cost him the entire 2025 season. The 29-year-old led the team with 33 starts two years ago and was an All-Star candidate after having a 2.89 ERA in his first 11 starts. Crawford finished the 2024 campaign with a 4.36 ERA, 175 strikeouts, and 51 walks over 183 2/3 innings. Especially since he's behind due to the injuries he dealt with last year, Crawford is off the fantasy radar in single-year leagues.
