5/17/24 Red Sox drop first series vs. Rays of the 2024 season. The Boston Red Sox entered their Thursday night matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park needing a win to split the series, but instead, they dropped the contest 7-5. Starter Cooper Criswell came back down to earth a bit after a solid start to the year, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings. Criswell wasn't helped by shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela, who made another error in the field, leading to one of the runs, and a wild pitch allowed another to score. When Criswell exited the game in the fourth, the Red Sox were down 5-1 due to a Rafael Devers home run in the second, his second shot in as many games.

The 27-year-old has pitched to a 2.10 ERA in six appearances for Boston.

5/07/24 Craig Breslow is laughing in dissenting Red Sox fans' face over Cooper Criswell. The Boston Red Sox signed Cooper Criswell without much fanfare in December 2023. It was one of the first moves of the Craig Breslow administration, and it seems he flashed his pitching brilliance early. After a promise from the front office to go "full-throttle" this past offseason, Criswell seemed like an underwhelming addition to many Sox fans who had never heard his name before. Criswell has posted impressive numbers during his stint in the Red Sox's starting rotation.

5/05/24 Red Sox avoid sweep with complete win, take series finale vs. Twins.

Boston's pitchers continued their stretch of impressive performances to start the year. Cooper Criswell got the start, and he allowed just one run on five hits and one walk. Brennan Bernardino, Zack Kelly and Cam Booser pitched the next 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just two walks and one hit.

5/05/24 Game 35: Red Sox at Twins lineups and notes. The Red Sox have hit a bit of a snag, following up a four-game winning streak at home with a three-game skid that leaves them on the brink of a sweep at the hands of the Twins, who have now won 12 games in a row. Cooper Criswell will look to stop the bleeding as he takes the ball for Sunday's finale. The righthander has been excellent, notching back-to-back scoreless outings of five innings apiece to beat the Guardians and Giants. The Twins will counter with Joe Ryan, who has given Minnesota's bullpen a rest by pitching at least into the sixth inning in each of his six starts this season.

4/25/24 With 4 starting pitchers on IL, how will Red Sox rotation keep up historic start?. Cooper Criswell tossed five shutout innings against the Guardians. (AP Photo/David Dermer) AP By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com CLEVELAND — When Chase Anderson takes the mound for the Red Sox to start Thursday's game in Cleveland, he'll be the ninth different Red Sox pitcher to make a start in the club's first 25 games. That's not exactly how the Red Sox envisioned things going when they arrived in Fort Myers for the start of spring training. But it's the reality of losing one pitcher for the season (Lucas Giolito) during spring training and three others to more minor injuries (Nick Pivetta, Garrett Whitlock and Brayan Bello) in the season's first month.

4/13/24 Cooper Criswell Boosts Red Sox With Serviceable Starting Depth. Cooper Criswell signed a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox and stretched out as a starter in spring training. Nick Pivetta went to the injured list earlier in the week, creating the need for a spot start after moving the rest of the rotation up a day to throw on regular rest. Criswell came up to the taxi squad on Friday before the Red Sox activated him to start on Saturday. High pitch counts in the second and third innings forced him out early, though he set the tone along with an improved offense in a 7-2 win for the Red Sox over the Los Angeles Angels.

4/08/24 As the Red Sox' starters succeed, depth could be issue, and other thoughts on the team. Cooper Criswell and Richard Fitts are in Worcester's rotation. Criswell showed promise in spring training but has only two major league starts in his brief career. Josh Winckowski competed for a rotation job in spring training and landed in the bullpen. Injuries or poor performance are inevitable and where will the Sox go then?

4/02/24 Will Red Sox' offseason free agent signee get promotion to start in April?. Cooper Criswell pitched 5 scoreless innings in Triple-A Worcester's home opener Tuesday, a 2-0 loss to Buffalo.

3/16/24 Cooper Criswell knows he has an opportunity with the Red Sox, and he'll gladly accept any role. The front office of the Rays was good to me. Criswell pitched at least two innings every time, giving the bullpen a break. “Whenever they called me up, it was because they needed innings,” Criswell said. The Rays shuffle the deck like a Las Vegas magician and Criswell was designated for assignment shortly after the season.

3/06/24 Red Sox righthander Lucas Giolito to travel to Alabama Monday for second opinion on elbow. Giolito, 29, underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012. Now, in his absence, that issue is even more pronounced, forcing the Sox to become creative. The team mentioned Cooper Criswell as a potential starting candidate, along with Josh Winckowski, Garrett Whitlock, and Tanner Houck. Two of the four will earn spots in the rotation before the Sox open the season March 28 in Seattle.

3/05/24 Craig Breslow Identifies Red Sox Rotation Option After Lucas Giolito Injury . When the Boston Red Sox signed Cooper Criswell to a one-year deal in December, he had only pitched in 12 big-league games in his career with two of those being starts. With Boston “concerned” about Lucas Giolito's injury, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow pegged Criswell as a possible rotation option, according to The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey. “It would be unfair to say we overlooked him, but we just weren't as familiar with him given that he wasn't with us,” Breslow said, per McCaffrey. Criswell does have experience as a starter in Triple-A, making 17 starts for the Durham Bulls last season.
