3/24/25 Red Sox Provide Health Update On $21M Starter After Concerning Last-Minute Scratch. The Boston Red Sox have had many more health scares for starting pitchers than they would have preferred this spring. Buehler was supposed to start Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins, but was scratched in favor of Cooper Criswell in the hours before the contest. Any long-term fears were quickly absolved, but the Red Sox also provided a crucial update about Buehler's availability for the first series of the year. After Saturday's game, manager Alex Cora confirmed Buehler was dealing with a stomach virus and will return to the mound on Monday with the goal of making his previously scheduled regular season Red Sox debut on Saturday against the Texas Rangers.

3/23/25 Why Walker Buehler isn't starting Sunday (and other Red Sox updates). That Cooper Criswell, not Walker Buehler, pitched the Grapefruit League finale for the Red Sox on Sunday, was a bit of an alarming development early Sunday. The Red Sox pushed back Buehler's final start of the spring due to the illness and have him scheduled to throw six innings on a back field at Fenway South on Monday, according to manager Alex Cora.

9/20/24 Red Sox strike out 20 times, strand 17 runners in 12-inning loss to the Twins. The Sox were a mind-boggling 1 for 19 with runners in scoring position, stranding 17 runners on-base. Cooper Criswell relinquished his first of three singles in the 12th, starting with Byron Buxton's through the left side. With runners at first and third, Trevor Larnach tapped a high chopper just out of reach of Criswell, scoring the go-ahead run. Matt Wallner's RBI single made it a two-run game before the Twins stretched their lead to three via a sacrifice fly.

9/12/24 Red Sox Notes: Rafael Devers Takes Leadership Stance After Loss. The Boston Red Sox entered The Bronx with an opportunity to gain some desperately needed ground in the American League standings, but the division-leading New York Yankees made that late-season bid even more difficult for their all-time foe. Boston's pitching, which began with right-hander Cooper Criswell, did its part by holding New York to just a single run through the first nine innings -- eight of which were consecutive shutout frames. The offense produced four base hits, went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position, left seven men on base and struck out 14 times; the lineup's first three hitters in Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers and Romy González combined to go 0-for-12 with five strikeouts.

7/11/24 Starter who has had 'big impact,' just won award likely to rejoin Red Sox on Friday. The Red Sox have not yet named their starter for Friday's series opener against the Royals, but all signs point to Cooper Criswell making his return to the majors after 2½ weeks at Triple-A. Criswell, who occupied the fifth spot in Boston's rotation for most of the first half of the season after Garrett Whitlock was lost for the year due to elbow surgery, is in line to start for the WooSox on Friday night. Manager Alex Cora said before Thursday's game that Friday's starter was largely dependent on Thursday's outcome while acknowledging that Criswell was in the mix.

7/06/24 Syracuse Mets three-game winning streak ends with 4-0 loss to Worcester. The Syracuse Mets offense was mystified by stellar Worcester Red Sox pitching on a sunny Saturday at Polar Park, getting shut out on just three hits in a 4-0 loss to wrap up a weeklong, six-game series. The Mets and WooSox split the series, winning three games apiece. It was a good, old-fashioned pitcher's duel to start on a Saturday afternoon, as Cooper Criswell for Worcester (41-45, 6-5) and Mike Vasil for Syracuse (53-33, 7-5) matched each other nearly pitch for pitch to begin the game.

6/18/24 Alex Cora explains why Red Sox sent down Cooper Criswell, re-shuffled rotation. Cooper Criswell was, somewhat surprisingly, optioned to Worcester by the Red Sox on Tuesday. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty) AP By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com TORONTO — When Garrett Whitlock was ruled out for the season after undergoing elbow surgery, it appeared right-hander Cooper Criswell would have the chance to establish himself in the Red Sox rotation for the rest of the season . With that in mind, it came as a surprise to see Criswell packing up his locker and departing Rogers Centre before Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays. With setup man Chris Martin ready to be active after missing 14 games due to anxiety , the Red Sox made the somewhat surprising decision to option Criswell
