Garrett Crochet's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet is certain to generate plenty of trade interest this offseason after he was one of the most sought after-players at last summer's trade deadline in late July. "Based on conversations I've had with other clubs when we talk about potential trades, Garrett certainly garners a lot of attention," general manager Chris Getz said. Unless the team thinks they can sign the 25-year-old southpaw to an extension, moving him -- he has two years of club control left -- might be the best course of action for the rebuilding White Sox. Outfielder Luis Robert Jr., meanwhile, is less likely to be moved. He was an All-Star in 2023 but struggled this past season with a .224/.278/.379 slash line, 14 home runs, 35 RBI and 23 steals in 100 games.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet got just four pitches into Tuesday's game against the Rangers before it was ultimately suspended due to rain. The game will resume on Wednesday as part of a straight doubleheader, with Chris Flexen picking up the game and then a bullpen game for Game 2. This is a real shame for fantasy managers, who essentially missed a start from Crochet. Assuming the White Sox stay on schedule otherwise, Crochet's next start would be Sunday against the Mets. The 25-year-old has produced solid numbers this season. However, things have gone downhill for him in the second half with a 6.75 ERA in 21 1/3 innings pitched.

The Chicago White Sox plan to limit left-hander Garrett Crochet's workload each time out for the rest of the season. "We're going to keep him on a limit each time out," interim manager Grady Sizemore said. "That will probably slowly decrease as we get closer to the finish line here. We're going to try to protect him while still getting good work out of him." That will include Crochet's start on Wednesday at Oracle Park against the San Francisco Giants. The 25-year-old All-Star southpaw hasn't gone beyond four frames in any of his starts since July as the Pale Hose look to limit his workload down the stretch during a career season. Crochet was a fantasy ace in the first half of the season, but now, managers can no longer trust him for much with his dwindling workload. There are better upside options out there now as you look to secure a fantasy title.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet threw just four innings in Friday's 5-4 win over the Astros, however, the southpaw was very effective, allowing just four hits and one earned run with no walks and nine punchouts, although he was unable to factor into the decision. It was a nice bounceback from the last time out when the 25-year-old was roughed up for seven earned runs after he allowed nine hits (four home runs) in just two-and-a-third innings. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the former first-round draft pick has not pitched beyond the fourth inning in any of his last seven starts, which is going to preclude him from earning any wins if that will be the case for the remainder of the season, so his fantasy value has taken a hit, although he's clearly still a good source of strikeouts.

Chicago White Sox All-Star left-hander Garrett Crochet said he's been experiencing a mechanical issue for the last three or four weeks and cited it as the cause of his struggles on Friday night in his outing against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Crochet said he's tried to convince himself it was something else each time out but has now identified it as "a simple fix." The 25-year-old southpaw allowed seven runs on nine hits (four home runs) in just 2 1/3 innings in the loss to the Cubs on Friday, although he generated 15 swinging strikes. The White Sox were eventually planning on limiting Crochet's innings down the stretch because of the fact he hadn't thrown over 54 1/3 innings at the big-league level in a single season before this year. The elevated workload could finally be taking its toll, as Crochet hasn't gone beyond four innings in a start since June 30, a span six outings.
