J.P. Crawford Takes Infield Practice On Friday
3 months agoSeattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) took infield practice with his one capable hand prior to Friday's game and was seen wearing a protective cast in his other hand. The 29-year-old is also slated for an X-ray on Monday. Crawford hit the injured list on July 23 with a right-hand fracture and was expected to miss approximately four to six weeks of playing time. This is a good sign that the shortstop was able to begin to go through infield practice without any setbacks. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the results of his X-ray on Monday as it could determine how close he could be to returning. Prior to the injury, he held a .204/.299/.347 line with nine home runs and five stolen bases. Dylan Moore should continue to see the majority of starting opportunities at shortstop while Crawford remains sidelined.
