Overview
- Crawford traveled to Texas for an evaluation by Dr. Keith Meister, and imaging showed no structural damage according to GM Justin Hollander, who called the concern level low.
- Despite the clean results, he has missed five consecutive Cactus League games and has not played since March 11, leaving his March 26 availability in question.
- Manager Dan Wilson said the club will wait for clarity before choosing a starter and noted he is not worried about Crawford’s timing after earlier designated-hitter at-bats.
- Top prospect Colt Emerson remains a primary internal option and strengthened his case Tuesday with a home run and a double to lift his spring average to .282.
- Versatile infielder Leo Rivas is also being considered, with other young infielders drawing positive reviews during spring work.
