Carl Crawford: Released on Monday
Carl Crawford was released by the Dodgers on Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.It's not too surprising that Crawford went unclaimed on waivers, considering he still has $35 million coming to him, but he will now become a free agent and look to sign with a new club. Crawford slashed just .185/.230/.235 with no home runs and six RBI in 30 games with the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Designated for assignment
Carl Crawford was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.Crawford had just been starting to see consistent playing time in left field, but he did little with the opportunity, going 1-for-14 at the plate over a stretch of five consecutive starts. The 34-year-old will now have to clear waivers, though it's unlikely Crawford and the remaining $35 million on his contract will be claimed. To replace the veteran on the roster, Austin Barnes was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Not in Friday's lineup
Carl Crawford is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.Enrique Hernandez will man left field and bat leadoff against left-hander Christian Friedrich. Crawford has underperformed all year and isn't even starting everyday against right-handers. There's little appeal here in standard mixed leagues.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Out of lineup Friday
Carl Crawford is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.Trayce Thompson will get the start in left field as Crawford sits for a second straight day, with both absences coming against opposing right-handed starters. There has been no word of an injury setback for Crawford, but he's done little of note with the bat this season, and unless he picks it up in a major way, left field will likely continue to be a revolving door for Los Angeles.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Will not start against Rays this week
Manager Dave Roberts said that Carl Crawford will not start against the Rays this week because the games are all on turf, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.Turf fields are especially strenuous on players' backs, and with Crawford just recently coming back from a back injury, Roberts opted to keep the outfielder off the unforgiving surface for the time being. He may return to the lineup over the weekend in Toronto if the Los Angeles Dodgers want to give him a start or two on their turf diamond, but Crawford's best chance to return to the lineup will come Monday when the Dodgers return to Los Angeles to face the Mets.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Out of Sunday's lineup
Carl Crawford is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.Due to the Los Angeles Dodgers' outfield depth, manager Dave Roberts will likely have the freedom to rest Crawford every time a lefty takes the mound for the opposing team, including Sunday's matchup against southpaw Drew Pomeranz. Crawford is just 5-for-25 at the dish since returning to the lineup, but that likely isn't the primary reason Enrique Hernandez will receive the start in left field.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Activated, starting Tuesday
Carl Crawford (back) was activated and is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.He rejoined the team Monday after a successful three-game minor league rehab stint, and will slot back into left field and the seven-hole Tuesday to face right-hander Tom Koehler. Crawford figures to see the majority of the time in left with Andre Ethier (leg) out several months, but the Los Angeles Dodgers will shield him from left-handed pitching, affording Enrique Hernandez and Trayce Thompson occasional starts at the position.

Dodgers' Carl Crawford: Activation from DL delayed to Tuesday
The Los Angeles Dodgers won't activate Carl Crawford (back) from the disabled list until Tuesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.There was a belief over the weekend that Crawford would make his first appearance Monday since the season's opening week, but manager Dave Roberts prefers that the bullpen boasts an extra arm after the recent series at Coors Field. Look for Crawford to slot into a starting spot in left field upon his activation.
