Oakland Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp will have his season disrupted due to a bout with conjunctivitis (pinkeye) for the second time in three years. 

Crisp was sent home from camp Friday and is expected to miss a few more days.

"We're hoping we've caught it early," manager Bob Melvin told John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group. "He came in with it yesterday and we've got him at home now hoping this resolves itself quickly."

Crisp, whose had trouble staying healthy his entire career, missed five games in September 2012 with the same ailment.
