The Mariners announced that shortstop J.P. Crawford has been placed on the seven-day concussion injured list, retroactive to August 10. He’s eligible to return by next Thursday but the team hasn’t provided a firm timetable. Players can go on the concussion list whether they’re officially diagnosed with one or simply have concussion-like symptoms. Sam Haggerty was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to take the active roster spot.
Crawford was injured on Wednesday when he collided with third baseman Eugenio Suárez while playing a softly-hit grounder in the hole. The shortstop remained in the game initially but came out a couple innings later after informing the coaching staff he wasn’t feeling well. The team sent him for testing postgame and apparently found the injury significant enough to rule him out for a week.
It’s a rare bit of unfortunate news for MLB’s hottest team. Seattle has rattled off seven straight wins, pulling within a game and a half of Toronto for the last Wild Card spot in the American League. Crawford has been an excellent table setter at the top of the order, reaching base at a career-best .379 clip while starting 106 of the club’s 114 games at shortstop.
Seattle is turning to Dylan Moore at the position tonight against Orioles starter Kyle Gibson. Moore and José Caballero are the only players aside from Crawford to play there for the M’s this season.
Booooooo
Too bad, a steady performer whose OBP just keeps getting better and better.
By the way boooooo is better than wow or meh. Keep the intellectual first posts coming!
I know words. I have the best words
That’s tuff one for Mariners.
Aww.
But, it is just precautionary, and gives the player some slack.
Rest well, J.P.
We’re gonna need you for the stretch run, but there is still time.
Bring back Kolton Wong…….
Dude! I’m eating seafood. Don’t make me spew
Best of the night.
Concussions can be tricky. Some fellas come back quick. Others after u think and they say , feeling ok , coming back after a week ,and they end up out months and months.
All sports
For the Mariners, this makes Baltimore seem even more formidable.
This series was already kind of scary, because the Orioles are actually about as tough a team as the M’s have faced.
So it’s gonna be mighty interesting, starting this evening.
You’re club is hot Fred
Give Didi a look
Maybe Segura ?
Put Segura back at second and he could have a league average finish to the season, which is worth something.
Dodo’s not in the organization any more.
Ok I was just messing with ya when I said another 14 game win was going to happen again.
Damn, where the Cardinals guy that wanted us to have all their scrap players for Logan Gilbert, could have used them now
Any Mariner fan know what’s up with Dylan Moore? Scratched last night.
Personal issue, I wish him well but a timeline would be grateful.
