J.P. Crawford belts a timely homer to seal the Mariners' 8-7 victory over the Mets

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • Fox Sports

Accounts for only run Friday Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Mets on Friday.

Impact Crawford's 413-foot shot to center in the fourth inning would end up representing the Mariners' only run of the night against a dominant Kodai Senga and two relievers. The veteran shortstop has seen his power stroke come alive of late, as Friday's round tripper was his third in the last seven games and pushed his season total to a career-best 13. Crawford has also reached safely in six of his last seven games, a stretch during which he's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with five total extra-base hits, six RBI, six walks, a stolen base and 10 runs.

Productive out of leadoff spot Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a stolen base in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

Impact Crawford plated the tying and go-ahead runs with his timely seventh-inning single, sealing the comeback victory for Seattle. Crawford's steal was only his second of the season, and the veteran shortstop has now cobbled together an impressive .294 average -- including a .455 figure with men on base -- and .984 OPS over the nine games he's played since returning from a stint on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion.

Hits leadoff blast Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional runs scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Impact Crawford took Kyle Muller's second pitch of the game over the center-field wall. This was Crawford's second homer in four games, and he has three multi-hit efforts in that span. The shortstop is at a .268/.384/.421 slash line with 12 long balls, 42 RBI, 76 runs scored and one stolen base through 114 contests this season. Prior to 2023, he'd never hit more than nine homers or posted an OPS better than .714 in a campaign.

Homers in three-hit game Crawford went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

Impact Crawford launched Brady Singer's first pitch of the game 432 feet to right field to open the scoring. Over four games since returning from a concussion, Crawford has gone 4-for-16 with six walks, three RBI and seven runs scored while returning to his usual spot atop the lineup. He's now at a .265/.382/.413 slash line with 11 homers, 40 RBI, 70 runs scored and one stolen base through 111 contests this season.

Busy in return to lineup Crawford (concussion) went 0-for-4 with two walks and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

Impact Crawford was back in his familiar leadoff spot in his return from the injured list and played a table-setting role in the lopsided win. The veteran shortstop's multiple trips on the basepaths were fitting, considering he's now sitting on an elite .436 on-base percentage across 112 plate appearances since the All-Star break thanks in large part to a 17.0 percent walk rate in that span.

Seattle Mariners activate SS J.P. Crawford from the 7-day injured list

The Seattle Mariners have activated shortstop J

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Makes return from IL The Mariners reinstated Crawford (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

Impact Seattle has yet to release its lineup for Monday's series opener against the White Sox, but Crawford will presumably reclaim a prominent spot in the batting order while settling back in as the Mariners' everyday shortstop. The 28-year-old sustained a concussion Aug. 9 but cleared the protocol 10 days later and was given the green light to rejoin the big club after experiencing no setbacks during his lone rehab game with High-A Everett over the weekend.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Monday Crawford (concussion), who played six innings on defense in a rehab game with High-A Everett on Saturday, could be activated from the injured list and inserted back into the lineup...

Impact The veteran shortstop also took three plate appearances in his first game action since Aug. 9, and as per manager Scott Servais, Crawford is now free of the mental fogginess he felt following his concussion and came out of Saturday's activity feeling good. Consequently, Crawford will be reevaluated when he joins the Mariners in Chicago, at which point a final decision will be made on whether he's ready to rejoin the starting lineup.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Crawford cleared concussion protocol and will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Everett on Saturday.

Impact Crawford landed on the 7-day concussion IL on Aug. 11 after colliding with teammate Eugenio Suarez the previous day. He's now been deemed fit to return to game action and will make a couple tune-up appearances in the minors before returning as Seattle's everyday shortstop. Crawford was slashing .307/.431/.466 since the All-Star break prior to his injury.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday Crawford (concussion) could return to the Mariners as early as Sunday's series finale in Houston, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Crawford landed on the 7-day concussion injured list last Friday, following a collision last Wednesday with teammate Eugenio Suarez. He's shown steady improvement throughout this week and will soon report to High-A Everett for a quick minor-league rehab stint. Jose Caballero and Dylan Moore have been sharing starts at shortstop in his absence and Julio Rodriguez has been hitting leadoff.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Return date uncertain Crawford may not return from the 7-day concussion IL when eligible Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The good news is that Crawford is trending in the right direction. However, manager Scott Servais said there is still some uncertainty on whether the 28-year-old shortstop will rejoin the team immediately once he's eligible. A better picture will emerge over the next couple of days, but Crawford's absence likely wouldn't extend more than a few days past Thursday if need be.

Mariners place SS J.P. Crawford on concussion injured list following collision

The Seattle Mariners have placed shortstop J

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Placed on concussion IL Crawford was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, retroactive to Aug. 10, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Crawford has officially been diagnosed with a concussion following his collision Wednesday with teammate Eugenio Suarez. The 28-year-old shortstop is enjoying a mini breakout this season, having registered a .266/.379/.411 batting line and a career-high 10 home runs through 107 games. He'll be first eligible to return to the Mariners next Sunday, but head injuries never come with a predictable recovery timeline. Jose Caballero and Dylan Moore will likely be the fill-in options at short.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Being evaluated for concussion Crawford will be evaluated for a concussion after colliding with Eugenio Suarez during Wednesday's game against the Padres, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Crawford reportedly wasn't feeling good during the last few innings following the collision, so the Mariners will put him through concussion protocol just to be safe. Further information likely won't be available until Thursday, so fantasy managers should consider Crawford day-to-day for now. The 28-year-old shortstop has been enjoying the best season of his career with a .790 OPS through 460 plate appearances.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three hits Crawford went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Crawford has logged three multi-hit efforts in August, going 8-for-27 (.296) across his last seven games. The shortstop has lifted his season slash line to .268/.382/.415 with the productive stretch, and he's added 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 63 runs scored, 26 doubles and a stolen base while primarily working out of the leadoff spot.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks 10th homer Crawford went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the Angels on Sunday.

Impact The veteran shortstop got Seattle's day off on the right foot by sending the first pitch of the day 397 feet to center field for his 10th homer of the season. Crawford's blast established a new personal best in round-trippers and extended his on-base streak to 12 games in the process. The 28-year-old's .787 OPS is also a career high and partly the byproduct of a 15.0 percent walk rate that's his highest since his 2017 rookie season in Philadelphia.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times in win Crawford went 2-for-5 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Impact The Mariners put on an offensive display in the high-scoring win, and Crawford's night was actually one of the quieter ones in a game where Seattle laced eight of its 14 hits for extra bases. While Crawford didn't contribute to that total, the veteran shortstop did generate his eighth multi-hit effort since the All-Star break and set the table nicely from the top of the order. Crawford has been thriving the entire second half, as he now owns a .333/.463/.485 slash line and 16.7 percent walk rate across his last 18 games.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers, scores three runs Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact Crawford belted a solo homer in the second inning between crossing home in the first and ninth frames. He's having a terrific month, going 31-for-91 (.341) with 14 extra-base hits and 15 runs scored through 24 July games. Crawford's season slash line is up to .265/.376/.413 through 418 plate appearances. His ninth home run of the year Sunday tied his career high set in 2021.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base twice in return Crawford (knee) went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Crawford missed Wednesday's game with a knee injury, but an off day Thursday allowed him to heal enough to get back in the lineup. The shortstop has put together an excellent July, batting .329 (28-for-85) with 12 walks over 22 contests. He's up to a .261/.368/.400 slash line with eight home runs, 35 RBI, 54 runs scored and a stolen base through 96 contests, and he continues to look solid atop the Mariners' lineup.

JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Friday Crawford (knee) is back in the lineup Friday at Arizona.

Impact Crawford will start at shortstop and bat leadoff for the visiting Mariners after missing Wednesday's series finale in Minnesota due to a right knee contusion. It was never a serious concern.

JULY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Wednesday with knee issue Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins after he was hit on the knee by a pitch in Tuesday's 9-7 win, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Heading into the week, Seattle had been planning to hold Crawford out of the lineup Wednesday for rest purposes, but the shortstop's absence from the lineup for the series finale may be the result of a legitimate injury. Though Crawford took his base after he was struck by the pitch in the ninth inning, manager Scott Servais said that the 28-year-old was feeling sore after the game, according to the Associated Press. The Mariners have an off day Thursday, so Crawford will have the benefit of 48 hours of rest before Seattle returns to action Friday in Arizona.

JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Breather Wednesday Crawford is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Twins, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Crawford will get a breather after he went 3-for-8 with two doubles and two runs scored over the team's first two contests of the series. Dylan Moore will slot in at shortstop while Cade Marlowe enters the lineup in left field and bats seventh in the series finale with Minnesota.

JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive day Saturday Crawford went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Impact Crawford's seventh-inning two-bagger plated Dylan Moore and Kolten Wong to knot the score at 7-7. The 28-year-old mustered just a single in his first nine post-All-Star-break plate appearances, but he's caught fire since that point by going 10-for-26 with a trio of two-baggers, two RBI, three walks and four runs in his subsequent seven games.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect day at plate Crawford went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Impact Crawford doubled and scored in the first inning and later knocked his 20th double of the year. He'd been stuck in a 5-for-23 (.217) run since his last multi-hit game July 5, but he's still hitting .370 this month. Crawford improved his season slash line to .258/.368/.402 with 28 extra-base hits and 48 runs scored through 362 plate appearances.
