Garrett Crochet Named Opening Day Starter
9 months agoChicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet has been named the team's Opening Day starter on March 28 against the Detroit Tigers in Chicago. For lack of other options after trading Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres last week, Crochet is being moved from the bullpen to the starting rotation and will now kick off the 2024 regular season for the Pale Hose. The 24-year-old southpaw was the 11th overall pick in 2020 out of Tennessee and has made 72 big-league appearances in his three seasons with the White Sox, but his start on March 28 against Detroit will be his first. Crochet is also under two years removed from Tommy John surgery, so he's not really much of a fantasy option in mixed leagues. However, it's worth noting that he has struck out 12 and walked none in nine scoreless Cactus League innings this spring.
