EDGE Analysis

Crawford was roughed up during his season debut Monday against Pittsburgh, allowing seven runs in four innings to take the loss. However, he bounced back in a favorable matchup against the Tigers to earn his first win of the year. While he gave up a run in the bottom of the first inning, he settled down later in the outing and got some help from Boston's offense in the 3-1 victory. Despite Crawford's solid outing Sunday, it's possible he heads to the bullpen or gets sent down since Garrett Whitlock (hip) will make his season debut Tuesday.
