Carl Crawford - OF - Dodgers

Carl Crawford ripped a solo homer in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

The longball, which came in the third inning off of Trevor Cahill, was Crawford's fifth of the season, putting him on an early-season pace for 26 longballs. He won't keep that up, of course, but the outfielder has been a nice power and speed source so far. It should continue as long as he stays healthy.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly indicated that Carl Crawford could pinch-hit if he's needed on Friday.

While it's not a return to the starting lineup, it's certainly an encouraging sign that Crawford will avoid a trip to the disabled list. He's been sidelined for the past three games due to a minor hamstring strain.

Carl Crawford stated Friday that he hopes to avoid a trip to the disabled list, despite a recent MRI revealing a minor hamstring strain.

Crawford is not in the Dodgers lineup on Friday, marking the third straight game that he's missed with the hamstring issue. If he doesn't make his way back into the lineup before the end of the weekend, a trip to the disabled list seems likely.

Carl Crawford - OF - Dodgers

Carl Crawford is out of the Dodgers' lineup Friday for the third straight game.

The hope was that Crawford would be ready to go after Thursday's off-day, but he apparently needs more time. The Dodgers need to make a roster move in order to activate Friday's starter Clayton Kershaw from the bereavement list, but it's not clear whether a stint on the disabled list is being considered. It was assumed that Mark Ellis (quad) would go on the DL, but he was working out on the field Friday afternoon. Stay tuned.

Crawford's tight right hamstring doesn't seem to be a big concern, but with Thursday's off day, the Dodgers can give the outfielder three consecutive nights off. Skip Schumaker is starting in left field Wednesday.

Carl Crawford - OF - Dodgers

Carl Crawford went 2-for-4 with a homer and an RBI single against the Brewers on Friday.

Crawford doubled his season RBI total tonight, but he's been an effective leadoff man since day one. Not only is he batting .316, but he's walked nine times in 79 at-bats. In 2011, he walked a total of 23 times (and smiled zero times) in 506 at-bats for the Red Sox.

Carl Crawford is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Mets.

Crawford is hitless over his last 14 at-bats, so it looks like he's just getting a breather. Skip Schumaker will start in left field and bat leadoff against Matt Harvey.

Carl Crawford - OF - Dodgers

Carl Crawford went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's loss to the Padres.

The Dodgers' offense isn't scoring a lot of runs, but it hasn't been Crawford's fault. The $142 million outfielder has batted a scorching .396 through 13 games played, hitting a home run while stealing a couple bases. He could return to being an elite fantasy option again in 2013 as long as he stays healthy.
