It has been announced that LF Carl Crawford has a sprained ligament in his left elbow and is now out indefinitely. The injury was first diagnosed by Boston's medical staff and was then confirmed by Dr. James Andrews, with the outfielder undergoing blood-platelet spinning therapy (which doesn't work by most accounts) and deciding to sit out during the first phases of treatment. There is no timetable for Crawford's return, but it has been speculated by joint doctors who work as technical advisers with Boston media outlets that the injury should sideline him for about three months.
Crawford batted .255 with 11 homers, 56 runs batted in, and 18 stolen bases last season, the first in a seven-year, $142 million contract.
