Stays hot in Sunday's loss Crawford went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.

Impact Crawford was the only other Mariner besides Mitch Haniger to record an extra-base hit in Seattle's first loss of the season, with his third-inning two-bagger setting him up to subsequently score the team's first run on Adam Frazier's single. The newly-minted shortstop has now reached safely in each of the first three games of the season, drawing a pair of walks in the opener on Friday before singling twice Saturday.

Inks $51 million deal with Seattle Crawford agreed to a five-year, $51 million contract extension with the Mariners on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Crawford had already avoided arbitration with the Mariners for 2022 by agreeing to a one-year, $4.85 million deal, but the new deal will take effect for this season while buying out two years of free agency. The 27-year-old has settled in as Seattle's everyday shortstop over the past three years, and in 2021 he hit .273/.338/.376 with nine home runs, 37 doubles, 89 runs, 54 RBI and three stolen bases over 160 games.

Back in action Crawford (mouth) will bat sixth and play shortstop Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Crawford returns to the lineup after missing the last two games due to a dental procedure. His brief absence should have minimal impact on his readiness for the upcoming season.

Not in Thursday's lineup Crawford (mouth) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Guardians.

Impact The team erroneously included Crawford in the initial lineup, but Dylan Moore will instead receive the start at shortstop. Crawford is down for a couple days after undergoing a dental procedure Wednesday, and he should be back on the field in the near future.

Back in action Thursday Crawford (mouth) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Thursday's Cactus League game against Cleveland.

Impact Crawford was expected to be out a few days after undergoing a dental procedure Wednesday, but he'll instead rejoin the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old posted career highs with a .714 OPS, nine home runs and 54 RBI in 160 games for the Mariners last season and will be the everyday starter at shortstop again in 2022.

Day-to-day after dental procedure Crawford underwent a dental procedure Wednesday and is expected to be out for a few days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The shortstop's availability for Opening Day does not seem to be in question and he'll likely be back in the lineup before spring training comes to a close. Crawford has batted .250 this spring while adding a double and an RBI in 16 at-bats. He'll look to build off of his career-high nine homers, 54 RBI and .273 average from 2021 when the 2022 campaign gets started late next week.

Settles for $4.85 million Crawford and the Mariners avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.85 million contract, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Crawford will more than double his salary in his second year of arbitration eligibility. While his profile is still driven by his defense, he's coming off a year in which he produced an above-average batting line for the first time, as his .273/.338/.376 triple slash was good for a 103 wRC+.

Looks like everyday shortstop Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Tuesday that Crawford will be the team's starting shortstop in 2022, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Impact Dipoto noted that Crawford's presence would dissuade the Mariners from pursuing free-agent shortstops such as Marcus Semien, Javier Baez or Trevor Story, but any potential additions would seemingly be in line to move to another position to keep Crawford entrenched at his normal spot. Crawford has proven to be a plus defender at shortstop throughout his career, but it wasn't until 2021 that he emerged as a league-average hitter. He wrapped up the past campaign with a .257/.333/.380 slash line to go with 12 home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs and nine stolen bases, but he could see his production suffer in the latter two categories if the Mariners bring in a more established leadoff option this offseason.

Plates pair in finale Crawford went 2-for-5 with a run scoring single and an RBI fielder's choice groundout in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Crawford offered one more solid effort out of the leadoff spot before the Mariners' season went officially in the books. The veteran shortstop has to especially bemoan the fact Seattle won't play further into October, as he generated an outstanding .357/.410/.518 slash line with six doubles, a home run, six RBI, four walks, a hit by pitch and nine runs over his final 13 games. The late-season surge left him with a career-best .273 average, while his .338 on-base percentage and .376 slugging percentage were both the second-best totals of his five big-league seasons.
