    • Likely won't return when eligible
      General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Crawford (oblique) likely won't be activated from the injured list when he's eligible May 5, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Crawford was placed on the injured list Thursday with a Grade 1 oblique strain -- the least severe type of strain -- though it appears the 29-year-old shortstop is still facing an extended absence. Hollander didn't provide an exact timeline for Crawford's return, but a 2-to-3 week absence seems to be the best possible scenario. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:12 pm
       
    • J.P. Crawford (oblique) to miss at least 2-3 weeks
      Mariners general manager Justin Hollander told reporters on Friday that he expects J.P. Crawford (oblique) to miss at least 2-3 weeks in a best-case scenario.

      Advice: Crawford landed on the injured list on Thursday with a right oblique strain. It’s not surprising news, so oblique strains can tend to linger if they aren’t allowed to fully heal, so the Mariners’ will do the prudent thing here and proceed cautiously. Dylan Moore looks like he’ll continue to function as the team’s regular shortstop while Crawford is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:03 pm
       
    • Drives in three runs
      Witt went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored during Friday's 8-0 win at Detroit.

      Advice: The 23-year-old started the scoring with a sacrifice fly during the third inning and added a two-run triple as part of a seven-run ninth for the Royals. Witt is in a bit of a power drought with no homers in his past 14 games, though he does have six RBI and three steals over his last four contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:59 pm
       
    • Bobby Witt Jr. plates three runs to lead Royals
      Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI on Friday afternoon, propelling the Royals to an 8-0 victory over the Tigers in Detroit.

      Advice: The 23-year-old superstar opened the scoring in the third inning with a sacrifice fly off of Reese Olson. That would be the only run scored for either side until the Royals broke the game open with a seven-run ninth inning. Witt featured heavily in that frame, crushing a three-run triple off of Will Vest and scoring on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Vinnie Pasquantino. He has lived up to his lofty fantasy draft status so far this season — slashing .306/.350/.565 with four homers, 14 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 27 games.

    • Mariners place J.P. Crawford (oblique) on 10-day IL
      Mariners placed SS J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a right oblique strain.

      Advice: Crawford was pulled from the starting lineup on Wednesday after he experienced discomfort in warmups and now will be sidelined for at least the next week or so. The 29-year-old was starting to get in a rhythm at the plate going 7-for-21 (.333 AVG) with four RBI in his past five games. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:21 am
       
    • Swipes two bags in win
      Witt went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Witt's RBI single in the fifth inning produced the decisive run in the contest. He's gone 7-for-20 (.350) with three RBI and three steals over his last five games. He continues to hit well out of the No. 2 spot in the order, slashing .317/.367/.574 with four home runs, seven steals, 11 RBI, 21 runs scored, eight doubles and three triples over 109 plate appearances. Witt's success has been a driving force behind the Royals' surprising 15-10 start to the campaign. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:55 am
       
    • Headed to IL with oblique strain
      The Mariners placed Crawford on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain.

      Advice: Crawford was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's loss to the Rangers, and subsequent testing revealed that he was dealing with an oblique strain. Grade 1 is the least severe type of strain, so it's possible that Crawford's stint on the IL won't be a lengthy one. Dylan Moore will make his second straight start at shortstop Thursday and is expected to serve as the primary replacement for Crawford during his upcoming absence.

    • Held out again Thursday
      Crawford (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rangers.

      Advice: Crawford had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right oblique soreness and now will miss a second straight start. Infielder Leonardo Rivas has joined the Mariners on their taxi squad, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM, so it would appear possible that Crawford will require a stint on the injured list. Dylan Moore is handling shortstop Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:29 am
       
    • J.P. Crawford scratched from lineup on Wednesday
      J.P. Crawford was scratched from the Mariners’ starting lineup on Wednesday due to right oblique soreness.

      Advice: The 29-year-old shortstop was in the team’s initial lineup, but he was pulled after being a full participant in pregame workouts. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but oblique injuries are notoriously tricky and almost always wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:53 pm
