Carl Crawford: Dealing With Stiff Ankle
Crawford is dealing with a stiff ankle, but was able to make a pinch-hit appearance in the seventh inning Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez reports.
Analysis:
This makes sense, as it seemed strange that Crawford was replaced in the lineup Wednesday by Scott Van Slyke with a righty on the mound. The Dodgers have a day off Thursday, so hopefully Crawford will be able to rest up and get back in the lineup Friday against the Rockies.
