Nick Pivetta's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta is reportedly going to be skipped in the rotation next time around. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as it doesn't sound like it's injury related. Instead, the Red Sox are skipping Pivetta in the rotation for rest purposes. The right-hander saw a drop in velocity during his last outing. The Red Sox want to be cautious and give Pivetta time to rest his arm. The team didn't announce who is going to make the start in his place.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta continued to strike hitters out in Monday's 14-7 win over the Mariners. Pivetta pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits (including two home runs) and a walk with 10 strikeouts. The 31-year-old has now reached 10 strikeouts in three of his last five starts. He is 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA, an 11.12 K/9 rate, a 2.18 BB/9 rate, and a 1.69 HR/9 rate in 17 starts and 90 2/3 IP. This start highlighted several themes of Pivetta's career, as he has always shown high strikeout upside but has also struggled to keep the ball in the park. He will look to keep things rolling in his next start, which will come on the road against a middling Rangers lineup.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta tossed a quality start for his club in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Pivetta threw six shutout innings while allowing two hits, walking one, and notching eight strikeouts but he had to settle for a no-decision on a quiet night for the Boston bats. The 31-year-old hurler is putting together a solid season for the Sox, posting a 4-6 record, 3.87 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 96 strikeouts over 81 1/3 innings of work. Pivetta's next start is scheduled to come on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta will draw a tough assignment in his first start out of the All-Star break when he heads to the mound for Friday's series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Pivetta produced a nice first half for the BoSox, striking out 88 batters and walking just 20 with a strong 1.11 WHIP across 75 1/3 innings of action. Fantasy managers will want to see the 31-year-old Canadian right-hander improve on his mediocre 4.18 ERA in 14 starts, though. While there's reason to believe Pivetta's ability to stabilize ratios for fantasy managers will translate to greater success overall down the stretch, he'll be hard to trust on Friday against a vaunted Dodgers offense that ranks third in runs scored (479) and home runs (129) this season.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta racked up 10 strikeouts in Wednesday's solid start against the visiting Oakland Athletics, but he was still saddled with the loss. Pivetta gave up four runs on six hits and two on Wednesday, but after fanning Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers for his 10th strikeout, he tied Roger Clemens for the second time this season with his eighth consecutive punchout. The 31-year-old right-hander sports some impressive ratios with an 88:20 K:BB over 75 1/3 frames for the Red Sox in 2024, but his 4.18 ERA leaves a bit to be desired, as he puts the ball in the air too often.
