The Seattle Mariners might be letting the season get away from them, but they are getting closer and closer to getting back JP Crawford from the injured list.
The Seattle Mariners lost again on Wednesday night, this time dropping an 8-4 decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With the loss, the M's are now back to .500 at 64-64 on the year, a far cry from the 44-31 record they held back on June 19. Though they still remain mathematically alive in the American League West at 5.0 games back of the Houston Astros, the season feels like it's over to most fans. Seattle just completed a 1-8 road trip and is reeling in just about every facet.
One bit of good news though is that shortstop J.P. Crawford is getting closer and closer to returning to the lineup, taking a big step forward in his recovery from a broken pinky.JP Crawford hit off a pitching machine today. He could go out on a rehab assignment by this weekend— Ryan Divish If the season is still relevant by the time Crawford returns, that's a big deal for Seattle.
Crawford is hitting just .204 this year with nine home runs and 32 RBI. He's also posted a .299 on-base percentage, which is well below the .380 he posted a year ago. Lifetime, he's a .247 hitter. He's in the eighth year of his career with the Phillies and Mariners. He won a Gold Glove Award during the 2020 season.RELATED SEATTLE MARINERS CONTENT:: The latest episode of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast is out as Brady Farkas just talks from the heart about how tough this road trip has been and why this Mariners disappointment hurts just as much or more as all the others.
