Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Goes on IL with shoulder injury
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on J. P. Crawford:
-
Recent status: Crawford was dealing with a right shoulder issue early in the 2026 season and was placed on the 10-day injured list in late March, with team updates suggesting he hoped to be back within a couple weeks after an injection [system-provided context from recent outlets]. He had been receiving a cortisone shot and then working back up after a brief shutdown, with the Mariners keeping plans flexible about Opening Day readiness [system-provided context].
-
Current role: Once healthy, he’s expected to resume duties at shortstop for Seattle, with a potential bullpen of in-house options filling in during his absence. The team has emphasized cautious progression rather than rushing a return, given his importance to the lineup [system-provided context].
-
Related notes: Earlier in 2024–2025, Crawford had injury absences and some rehab assignments, but the focus for 2026 has been on regaining full strength and contributing as Seattle’s starting shortstop when activated [system-provided context].
