J.P. Crawford Still Sitting With Hand Injury on Sunday
Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) remains on the bench for Sunday's series finale in Motown versus the Detroit Tigers, according to MLB.com. Young infielder Colt Emerson will make another start at the 6 for the M's and will bat eighth against Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty. Crawford is missing a second straight game after he was hit by a pitch on his hand during the series opener against Detroit on Friday. X-rays came back negative on the 31-year-old's hand, but he's obviously still not ready to swing a bat against live pitching. Crawford has 10 home runs in his 193 at-bats, but that's where the good news ends for him in 2026. He's currently slashing just .228/.356/.409 with a .766 OPS, 23 RBI, 31 runs, and a stolen base in his 10th year in the league. Crawford is only rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues and could begin to lose more playing time to the young infielders in Seattle the rest of the way. Emerson is the much more attractive long-term piece for fantasy managers.
