Fantasy Impact:

Crochet’s 6.1 shutout innings this spring clinched his Opening Day nod for Boston, facing a Rangers lineup with a .790 spring OPS after a .685 mark last year. The lefty’s fresh start signals ace potential. Fantasy managers can slot him as a high-upside arm with a favorable early matchup in hand.
