Fantasy Impact
By the time Pivetta returns, he will have missed one week due to a positive COVID-19 test. Through 26 outings this season, the 28-year-old is 9-7 with a 4.67 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and .233 OBA. He has also walked 62 batters and struck out 151. Boston desperately needs starting pitching help right now, especially after losing Chris Sale to the COVID-19 list after he tested positive, too.
