On Tuesday night, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford exited the game against the New York Yankees after only two at-bats. The reason for Crawford’s early departure is still unknown, but it has been reported that he was dealing with some discomfort in his left hand.
Crawford had a great start to the season, batting .333 with two home runs and seven RBIs in the first eight games of the season. He had been a key contributor to the Phillies offense, and his absence was felt during the game against the Yankees.
The Phillies have yet to release any information on Crawford’s injury, but they did confirm that he will be re-evaluated by team doctors on Wednesday. It is unclear if Crawford will be able to return to the lineup in the near future, or if he will need to miss an extended period of time.
The Phillies are already dealing with a number of injuries to key players, including outfielder Odubel Herrera and starting pitcher Vince Velasquez. Losing Crawford for an extended period of time would be a big blow to the team’s offense, as he has been one of their most consistent hitters this season.
It is important for the Phillies to get a better understanding of Crawford’s injury as soon as possible. If he is unable to return to the lineup soon, the team may need to look for a short-term replacement in order to keep their offense running smoothly.
Only time will tell how long Crawford will be out of action, but it is clear that his absence will be felt by the Phillies. It is important for the team to get a better understanding of his injury and make sure he is able to return to the lineup as soon as possible.
