Cooper Criswell's Solid Start Not Enough in Loss
by Chase Davis | Red Sox Correspondent | Fri, Sep 13th 8:34am EDT
Cooper Criswell pitched decently, allowing one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a strong outing that kept the Red Sox in contention, Criswell's performance did not translate into a win, leaving his record unchanged. His season ERA of 3.98 and WHIP of 1.34 suggest a reliable, if not spectacular, option for fantasy managers. However, his low strikeout rate (6.5 K/9) continues to limit his upside in categories that reward strikeouts. With a FIP of 4.21 indicating potential slight regression, fantasy managers should view Criswell as a steady, but not game-changing, rotation piece.
