Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Fans four in no-decision
Wil Crowe allowed two runs on six hits and a pair of walks in 4.2 innings, striking out four and not factoring into the decision of Wednesday’s 14-3 loss to Atlanta.The righty has now allowed two runs in four of his last five starts and has an ERA of 6.05 in 2021. Crowe has failed to provide significant length in his starts this season, completing six innings just once in twelve outings. Steven Brault (lat) may usurp Crowe in the rotation once healthy, but he isn’t expected back until the end of July, meaning the latter will likely remain in the starting mix following the All-Star break.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Takes loss despite fanning six
Wil Crowe (1-5) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Brewers after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while fanning six across 4.2 innings.Crowe ended just two strikeouts away from matching his season-high mark, and he gave up just two runs for the third time over his last four outings. However, he hasn’t pitched more than five innings in any of those contests. While his 6.26 ERA remains poor, he seems to be moving in the right direction as he owns a 4.66 ERA with a 8.4 K/9 over that aforementioned four-game span. He’s slated to pitch again next week against Atlanta at home.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Notches first big-league win
Wil Crowe (1-4) earned the win over St. Louis on Friday, pitching five innings and allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four.The right-hander was far from dominant in the start, as he induced only eight swinging strikes and allowed four extra-base hits (including two homers) over five frames. However, he fared just well enough to collect his first career win in his 14th appearance. Crowe was 0-2 in three starts last season, and he entered Friday with an 0-4 record and a 6.42 ERA across 40.2 innings in 2021, so he hasn’t yet proven that he’s capable of handling big-league hitters. He’s in line to make his next start at Colorado next week.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: No-decision Saturday
Wil Crowe didn’t factor into the decision Saturday against Cleveland after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while fanning two across 4.2 innings.Crowe got off to a slow start this season, but he has been turning things around of late, having given up two runs in each of his last two outings covering 9.2 innings. While he can’t be trusted to pitch deep into games, he’s been tossing the ball better compared to May, when he finished with a 6.04 ERA across five starts. Crowe is tabbed to make his next start on the road against the Cardinals next week.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Gets Sunday start
Wil Crowe will start Sunday’s series finale against the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.Crowe will take over the rotation spot vacated by Mitch Keller, who was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday. The Pittsburgh Pirates brought up Crowe in a corresponding move, and after he went unused out of the bullpen in Saturday’s loss to the Brewers, he’ll now get the chance to pick up his eighth start of the season. Fantasy managers should temper expectations for Crowe after he posted a 7.26 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 31 innings with the Pirates prior to being demoted to Triple-A for a brief spell.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Recalled from Triple-A
Wil Crowe was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.He didn’t fare well in 31 innings with the big club earlier this year (7.26 ERA, 1.77 WHIP), and he logged a single clean inning in his lone appearance at Triple-A on June 8. Typically a starter by trade, perhaps the Pittsburgh Pirates are transitioning him into a relief role. However, Mitch Keller was optioned Saturday, so there is a vacant spot in the rotation.

Pirates’ Wil Crowe: Headed to Triple-A
The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned Wil Crowe to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.Crowe’s demotion comes as little surprise after he was lit up for 11 earned runs on 13 hits and four walks in 5.1 innings between his last two starts. Chase De Jong will temporarily take over Crowe’s spot as Pittsburgh’s No. 5 starter, but he may only be keeping a spot warm in the rotation for Trevor Cahill (calf), who could return from the injured list within the next week or two.
