Crawford says he shouldn't be out of Tampa Bay Rays lineup long
Tampa Bay Rays LF Carl Crawford doesn't expect to miss much time after leaving Wednesday's game with a bruised right shoulder.
"I hope to back in the lineup soon,'' Crawford said. "I don’t think it should be anything that’s going to keep me out for a long time or anything like that.’’
Manager Joe Maddon said: "There did not seem to be anything drastically wrong. We'll know more tomorrow.''
He was hurt making a diving catch of Aubrey Huff's line drive in the fourth. "On that dive I twisted it in a weird way and I guess I tweaked something in there a little bit and it was a little sore,'' he said.
He batted in the top of the fifth, grounding out, and knew then something was amiss. "That’s when I knew I had to come out of the game it just felt sore like I couldn’t swing the bat right,'' he said.
