Uncertain for Opening Day Crawford received an injection in his injured shoulder Wednesday, and manager Dan Wilson said it's unclear if Crawford will be ready for Opening Day next Thursday, Ryan Divish of T...

Impact Following the injection, Crawford will be down for a few days, according to Divish. The veteran shortstop has been dealing with the shoulder issue for most of spring training and has appeared in just seven Cactus League contests. He has two hits across 18 trips to the plate and now may be in danger of missing Opening Day. If Crawford is unable to play next Thursday against the Guardians, Leo Rivas and top prospect Colt Emerson will be candidates to start at shortstop.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford problem is becoming a bigger red flag before Opening Day J.P. Crawford has barely played this spring because of a sore shoulder. The Mariners are only now taking it seriously.

MARCH 17 • SODOMOJO.COM

Remains out of lineup Tuesday Crawford (shoulder) is not in the lineup for either of the Mariners' split-squad Cactus League games Tuesday.

Impact Crawford was initially expected to return Tuesday, but a nagging shoulder issue is keeping him sidelined. According to GM Justin Hollander, the concern level on Crawford is "not high," via Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Crawford has been dealing with the shoulder issue all spring. If he's unable to play Opening Day next week, Leo Rivas and Colt Emerson are options to man shortstop for the Mariners.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Should return Tuesday Crawford (shoulder) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for one of the Mariners' split-squad, Cactus League games, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The veteran shortstop missed time earlier in camp due to the shoulder issue before returning to action last week, but the aggravation of the injury doesn't appear to be a serious one. Crawford should be in the lineup at shortstop Opening Day for Seattle, assuming he can avoid additional setbacks.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Still bothered by sore shoulder Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Reds due to lingering shoulder soreness, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Crawford had previously been slowed by the shoulder issue earlier in camp, which resulted in him going nearly two weeks between appearances in the spring lineup. He's been able to make six starts thus far in March but hasn't played since Wednesday after the soreness apparently resurfaced again. The Mariners aren't yet concerned about Crawford's availability for Opening Day, but that tune could change if the shortstop is still experiencing discomfort following Monday's off day.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Back at shortstop Crawford (shoulder) will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Monday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Crawford will be included in the Cactus League lineup for the sixth time this spring, but he'll be making just his second start at shortstop and his first since Feb. 20. The 31-year-old has been battling a cranky shoulder during camp, which prompted the Mariners to use him as a designated hitter for his last four starts. Crawford should be ready to play shortstop on an everyday basis once the regular season gets underway; the Mariners appear to have simply exercised caution this spring by limiting his usage in the infield early on.

Crawford returns, but sore shoulder still has Mariners in 'monitor' mode PEORIA, Ariz. -- J.P. Crawford is easing into the spring. Tuesday marked the 31-year-old shortstop’s first Spring Training appearance since...

Making spring debut Tuesday Crawford (shoulder) is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Tuesday's Cactus League contest versus the Angels.

Impact It will be the spring training debut for Crawford, who has been brought along slowly in Mariners camp due to a minor shoulder issue. He will be eased back into action at DH and is expected to return to shortstop soon.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled for live BP Crawford (shoulder) will take live at-bats Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Crawford's shoulder has never been considered a threat to his Opening Day availability, as the Mariners have previously said they're simply taking a cautious approach with ramping up the veteran infielder. He's expected to make his first Cactus League appearance of the spring Tuesday as a DH and begin playing in the field the following week.

Impact Wilson downplayed any concern about Crawford's availability for Opening Day, noting instead that the Mariners are merely taking a cautious approach with the shortstop in the early stages of spring training. Crawford's absence from the lineup in the Mariners' initial Cactus League lineups will open up more opportunities for top prospect Colt Emerson to see some reps at shortstop, though Emerson still appears likely to open the season at Triple-A Tacoma.
