Crawford Near Return, Mariners Need Him | MLB News

J.P. Crawford is inching closer to returning to the Mariners after a wrist injury sidelined him since late July, set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma this Thursday. His return is crucial as Seattle’s infield has been thin without both Crawford and top prospect Colt Emerson — who also suffered a wrist issue — forcing them to rely on Brock Rodden at shortstop. Crawford, hitting .212 with 10 homers and 30 RBIs this season, brings veteran leadership and stability the team desperately needs as they push for playoff contention after a rough stretch. The Mariners will monitor his progress carefully before deciding on his next move, but his potential return could be a major boost as they aim to turn things around.
