  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Draws Opening Day nod

    The White Sox announced Monday that Crochet will start the team's season opener March 28 versus the Tigers in Chicago.

    A converted reliever who has yet to make a big-league start and is just under two years removed from Tommy John surgery, Crochet is a bold choice for the Opening Day starting nod. The White Sox's decision to go with Crochet for the season opener speaks to the organization's lack of attractive alternatives, though the 24-year-old lefty at least brings some upside to the table. After struggling with his control late last season when he rejoined the White Sox bullpen following his recovery from elbow surgery, Crochet has looked far sharper this spring, striking out 12 and walking none while working around seven hits across nine scoreless frames. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to any grand conclusions based on the spring numbers, but the improved results along with the White Sox's commitment to him in a starting role are enough to put Crochet on the radar as a late-round target in fantasy drafts.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Looks ready for rotation

    Crochet has thrown nine scoreless innings in Cactus League action while maintaining a 12:0 K:BB.

    Crochet has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen to this point in his big-league career, but the team has committed to stretching him out this spring. His last outing came Thursday against the Angels, during which he allowed only two hits and struck out three across three frames. Neither the White Sox nor Crochet have confirmed that he's set to begin the season in the rotation, but the departure of Dylan Cease will further enhance his chances.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Makes spring debut

    Crochet threw 34 pitches and completed 1.2 innings in his Cactus League debut against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Crochet returned from Tommy John surgery early last season, but he also faced shoulder trouble that limited him to only 25 total innings combined between the majors and minors. Despite the limited workload, he's attempting to land a role in the White Sox's rotation to begin the season. He made a good impression in his first spring outing, retiring Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman to begin the game. Crochet also touched 99 mph and 100 mph with his fastball, a good sign that his arm is back to full strength.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Could start season in rotation

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz on Monday didn't rule out Crochet beginning the season in the major-league rotation, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Getz added that he expects Crochet to be on the Opening Day roster in some fashion, whether that's in the rotation or perhaps in a long relief role as he gets stretched back out to start. All 84 of Crochet's appearances in pro ball to this point have come in relief, so getting his stamina built up at the big-league level will be tricky.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Avoids arbitration

    Crochet signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the White Sox on Thursday to avoid arbitration.

    Crochet charted a 3.55 ERA and 1.97 WHIP through 12.2 MLB innings last year, though shoulder issues limited him to just 25 total appearances between the majors and minors. White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Tuesday the team plans on using Crochet as a starter in 2024, though it's unclear whether he will be stretched out in the big leagues or in Chicago's minor-league system.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Preparing to start in 2024

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz revealed Tuesday that Crochet is preparing to be a starting pitcher in 2024, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Getz admits that it will take a while for Crochet to be appropriately stretched out to start, but it's the role the club has planned for him. It's not clear at this point whether the stretching-out phase will occur in the majors or minors, or both. Crochet missed all of the 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and was limited to 25 appearances between the majors and minors in 2023 due to a shoulder problem, although he ended the year with a clean bill of health. The southpaw has made 84 appearances in pro ball (72 in the majors), and all of them have been out of the bullpen.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Role for 2024 undecided

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that he wants Crochet to be used in a multi-inning role next season, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Crochet's workload will be carefully monitored during spring training, and the team will determine at that point whether to continue to stretch him out to start or use him in relief. At the very least, this would seem to rule the lefty out from being under consideration to serve as the White Sox' closer in 2024, although plenty can change between now and when that decision gets made. Crochet missed all of 2022 following Tommy John surgery and was limited to 25 appearances between the majors and minors in 2023 due to a shoulder issue, although he ended the season healthy.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Takes loss in return to mound

    Crochet (0-2) allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Friday against the Red Sox.

    Crochet made his first appearance since being activated from the injured list Wednesday after battling a shoulder injury. He was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning, but he allowed an inherited runner to score after allowing a single and a walk. He gave up a run of his own two batters later, so the performance left plenty to be desired. However, with the White Sox out of playoff contention, their primary focus is getting the young reliever some work prior to the close of the regular season.

  • White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Reinstated from IL

    Crochet (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Crochet is returning from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte. The reliever has not made an appearance in the majors since June 15, when he suffered a shoulder injury. He struck out 10 while allowing one hit and zero walks over four scoreless innings during this latest rehab assignment.
