2024 Fantasy Outlook
Crochet missed all of 2022 following Tommy John surgery and was limited to just 25 apperances between the majors and minors last season due to a shoulder injury. When healthy, the lefty walked more batters (13) at the big league level last year than he struck out (12), but the sample was limited to only 12.2 innings. He ended the season healthy, but the Crochet's persistent injury woes have made it difficult for the White Sox to settle on his role. Recent reports indicate his workload will be monitored during spring training and Chicago will determine whether to stretch him out to start in 2024, or use him in relief. Fantasy managers have been willing to gamble on Crochet's upside for a few years now, but he has yet to realize his potential. If health prevails in 2024, Crochet could re-emerge on fantasy radars, but expect a high WHIP no matter what role he fills. Read Past Outlooks

The White Sox do not plan to move Crochet to the bullpen or shut him down this season, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Heyman also writes that Crochet will be on a "normal workload as a starter" until the end of the regular season. However, given that manager Pedro Grifol went on record last month that Crochet's workload would be managed, Heyman might just be referring to the pitcher continuing to take regular turns in the rotation. The lefty being pulled early from outings still seems likely. Of course, if/when Crochet is traded, the plan could change. Interestingly, Heyman also adds that Crochet would request a contract extension from the team that acquires him in order to agree to pitch in October. Crochet has already thrown 111.1 innings in 2024, which is 26 more than he had thrown in his entire pro career coming into the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Crochet missed all of 2022 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The White Sox hope he'll return by mid-season. Before the surgery, the plan was for Crochet to follow Michael Kopech's example and begin the season as a multi-inning reliever before joining the rotation. The White Sox still envision Crochet as a starter, but there are no plans to work in that capacity in 2023. The hope is he builds up ample innings to make the full transition in the off-season. Still just 23-years-old, there is plenty of time for Crochet to make it as a starter, but with his arsenal, high-leverage relief work is a solid fallback. It's risky to trust Crochet in redraft leagues, but he could be a target to stash in keeper formats.
Crochet clearly has the talent to be an oft-utilized, high-leverage reliever, but the White Sox played it safe with the young hurler in 2021, limiting him to just 54.1 innings that typically came in middle relief. Chicago conserved his arm, particularly towards the end of last season, as the team still views him as a starter long-term. Crochet did spend one minimum-length stay on the IL due to a back strain and also dealt with a blister early in the season, but he remained healthy for the most part and was an important piece of the White Sox pen. The southpaw posted a solid 2.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 with three wins, 12 holds and promising Statcast metrics across the board. While Crochet showed promise across his limited sample last year, he opted for Tommy John surgery in April and will miss the entire 2022 season and a sizable portion of the 2023 campaign.
Crochet was impressive during the 2020 regular season, firing six scoreless frames in five relief appearances. He posted a 0.50 WHIP and struck out eight without walking a batter over that brief stretch. The young lefty did suffer a forearm injury in the postseason, but he's on track to enter the 2021 campaign with a clean bill of health. Crochet features an electric fastball that typically sits around triple digits, and he's working to develop both a slider (86.7 mph average) and changeup (92.5 mph average). He was used in a relief role a season ago, but the White Sox still view Crochet as a starter in the long term and may send him down to Triple-A Charlotte in 2021 to continue his development as a rotation piece.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade doesn't seem imminent
PChicago White Sox
July 26, 2024
Crochet is now seen as likelier to be moved over the offseason than before the July 30 trade deadline, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Crochet's demand of a contract extension from the team acquiring him in order for the pitcher to agree to move to the bullpen or be shut down in order to keep him fresh for October left interested general managers "stunned," per Passan. Part of Crochet's appeal on the trade market is that he's under team control through 2026 at a bargain rate, but that would go out the window if the acquiring team must sign him to an extension. Beyond the difficulty in agreeing to the framework of a new contract, Crochet's demand also would figure to lessen the quality of the offers the White Sox would receive, thereby decreasing the team's motivation to deal him now. Things can change in a hurry, but a trade of Crochet appears much less likely than it did 24 hours ago.
