J.P. Crawford said his fractured wrist will not require surgery and is hopeful that he’ll be able to return from the disabled list in four to six weeks.
Crawford suffered the injury on Tuesday night when he was hit in the hand with a 94-mph fastball. He immediately knew something was wrong when he saw his hand swell and his “knuckle looked completely different.” The injury came just two weeks after Crawford returned from the disabled list. He had an everyday role at third base and started to look comfortable at the plate with a .425 on-base percentage in 13 games since returning.
