The idea of Tampa trading Crawford right now is silly, as they have control over him through 2010. And in the event they did decide to deal him, they could surely land a more enticing package. September 26, 2007 Carl Crawford has been officially ruled out for the balance of the season, the Tampa Tribune reports. He's dealing with a strained left groin. September 25, 2007 Manager Joe Maddon has admitted that Carl Crawford, out with a strained left groin, may not return to action this season, according to the Tampa Tribune. "I'm not so sure right now that he's going to be able to do this," Maddon said. "It doesn't seem like it's going anywhere where we need it to go for him to participate right now. We'll look at it again after [today's] day off, but I'm not anticipating that he's going to be able to play." September 23, 2007 Carl Crawford, out with a strained left groin, missed his sixth consecutive game on Sunday, according to the AP. He might also sit out a three-game series against the Yankees that begins Tuesday. September 23, 2007 Carl Crawford (groin) was out of the lineup for the fifth consecutive game Saturday, the AP reports. His status for the rest of the season should be determined in the next couple days. September 22, 2007 It looks like Carl Crawford should be able to play again this season. His strained groin has improved enough that he's expected to play sometime during the Devil Rays' six-game homestand, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Manager Joe Maddon said that Crawford may even be available to pinch-hit as soon as Saturday. Despite Maddon's positive thinking, Crawford said he wouldn't play unless the soreness is gone. Expect the Rays to be smart about using him down the stretch, but it appears there's at least a chance we'll see him in action before the season ends. September 20, 2007 Carl Crawford's groin injury has yet to improve, making it more likely that he won't return this season, according to the Tampa Tribune. "I still want to stay with the plan of waiting until we get back home after the day off and see where we're at," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "But we're not seeing a whole lot of definitive progress." Even if it turns out Crawford is able to return this year, it will likely be only for a couple of days, so there's really no reason to hold onto him outside of keeper leagues. September 18, 2007 The Devil Rays won't put Carl Crawford back into the lineup until they're convinced he's fully recovered from his groin injury, according to the Tampa Tribune. "No, it's not worth risking that at all, as far as I'm concerned," said manager Joe Maddon. "I'm looking big-picture, I'm looking years to come. Of course we want to win these games and we still can but to me it makes no sense to push somebody at this point. I don't get that. I wouldn't do it." The earliest Crawford will return is Friday, although it's possible the Rays will eventually just shut him down for the rest of the year. September 17, 2007 Carl Crawford is considered day-to-day after straining his left groin during Sunday's game according to the Tampa Tribune. He'll be evaluated before tonight's game, and with only 12 games left in the season, the Devil Rays are expected to be cautious with their star player. At the very least, Crawford will likely be sidelined for a couple of days, so keep him out of your lineups for the time being. September 13, 2007 Carl Crawford's two-game suspension was upheld by major league baseball. He sat out Thursday's game at Seattle, and he'll be out Friday as well. September 5, 2007 Carl Crawford has been suspended two games for his inappropriate actions on Monday night, according to the AP. Crawford will appeal the suspension, so he'll continue playing for the time being. August 1, 2007 Carl Crawford returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday after a three-day absence due to a wrist injury, according to the Tampa Tribune. He did pinch-hit in Monday's contest, however, and hit a walk-off homer. July 30, 2007 Carl Crawford said Sunday that his sprained right wrist hurts when he grips a bat. "I'm just leaving it alone right now because it hurts just to grip the bat," Crawford told the St. Petersburg Times. "I haven't even picked up a bat." Though he said he doesn't expect a trip to the disabled list, it doesn't sound likely that he will be in the lineup on Monday. The Devil Rays should have a better idea about his status after an MRI is taken earlier in the day. July 29, 2007 Carl Crawford was out of the starting lineup Sunday for the second straight game because of a sprained right wrist. Crawford was available to be a defensive replacement or pinch run, according to the AP. He's considered day-to-day. "It's still sore," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "The biggest problem is swinging the bat." July 25, 2007 Carl Crawford returned to the lineup Tuesday after sitting two games with a sprained ankle. Crawford went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tampa Bay's shutout loss to Baltimore. "I'm 100 percent," he told the team's official website, noting he did not see any restrictions on what he did on the field. While it's encouraging to see Crawford back in the mix, we'd like to know what's happened to his power. He hasn't gone deep since the first week of June, and four of his six homers this year came in April. July 22, 2007 Carl Crawford sprained his left ankle in the third inning of Saturday's first game, and will likely sit out until Tuesday, according to the Tampa Tribune. X-rays on the ankle came back negative and Crawford was wearing an air brace on his ankle as he hobbled around between games of the doubleheader. He said there wasn't much swelling, just soreness, and he doesn't expect it to be a long-term problem. July 1, 2007 Carl Crawford was given the day off Saturday against Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia. Crawford, in a 1-for-17 slide, will return to action Sunday. June 8, 2007 Carl Crawford went 3-for-5 Thursday and was 8-for-16 with seven RBIs in the three-game series, the AP reports. He also scored six runs and stole two bases. April 12, 2007 Marlins manager Joe Maddon moved Carl Crawford back to third in the batting order yesterday, while having Rocco Baldelli lead off, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "It just looked like they both were more comfortable in the other slots," Maddon said. "Neither came to me and talked about it; this is just an observation on my part based on last year. I thought Rocco did a nice job leading off, and I thought Carl did a nice job hitting behind him." April 10, 2007 Carl Crawford was thrown out attempting to steal second twice in the first three innings by Texas' Gerald Laird on Tuesday. Crawford had never been caught stealing twice in a game prior to that. March 26, 2007 Carl Crawford is scheduled to return to the lineup Tuesday, according to the AP. Crawford is dealing with a groin injury, but the injury isn't thought to be anything serious. March 26, 2007 Carl Crawford is expected to return to action tonight, according to the St. Petersburg Times. He's been resting a tight groin, though it doesn't appear to be anything significant. March 25, 2007 Carl Crawford probably won't play until Monday because he's being cautious with his tight groin, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "I'm not injured, nothing close to it," he said. "I could have played (Saturday)." March 23, 2007 Carl Crawford was scratched Friday night due to groin tightness, the Tampa Tribune reports. Crawford says the injury isn't anything serious. March 8, 2007 Carl Crawford stole two bases, his third and fourth of the spring, in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland. Crawford batted second in the order, where Joe Maddon said earlier in the week he wants to slot Crawford. March 7, 2007 Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon said he plans to bat Carl Crawford second and move Delmon Young into the third spot in the order, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Maddon wants to take advantage of Crawford's speed and on-base percentage to set the table for Young.
