The Seattle Mariners have been without shortstop J.P. Crawford since just after the All-Star break, but he took a key step in his possible return on Sunday afternoon.
The Seattle Mariners are coming off their best weekend of the season, having swept the New York Mets over three games at T-Mobile Park.
In addition to what took place on the field, the M's also got good news on the injury front. Outfielder Julio Rodriguez returned to the lineup on Sunday and shortstop J.P. Crawford took a crucial step in his return from a fractured pinky finger.Crawford, who has been taking infield practice since Aug. 2, threw for the first time before the Mariners' homestand finale against the Mets on Aug. 11, very lightly tossing out to 60 feet.
It's possible that Crawford returns before the end of the month, but the M's will continue to monitor his progression. The 29-year-old is an integral part of the M's lineup, utilizing a discerning eye to get on base and also providing leadership and solid defense at shortstop. 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.
