Crawford (hand) is still waiting for the results of a CT scan he underwent Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Crawford was hit on the right hand by a pitch last Friday and placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. The injury designation provided Monday was a contusion, but that could change depending on the results of the CT scan. The swelling in Crawford's hand has subsided, but he is still unable to grip a bat. The Mariners could have an update on the shortstop's status later Tuesday.

Rotowire
The Mariners placed Crawford (hand) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Seattle is continuing to classify Crawford's injury as a right hand contusion rather than a sprain or fracture, but the bruise is evidently painful enough for the veteran infielder that the Mariners opted to shut him down through at least the rest of the week. While Crawford is on the shelf, Colt Emerson is slated to serve as Seattle's primary shortstop, which will open up third base for Patrick Wisdom.

Crawford sustained the injury when he was hit by a 91.6 mph fastball from San Diego's starter Lucas Giolito in the third frame. The shortstop remained in the contest for the following inning, but he was struggling to extend his arm due to inflammation, according to manager Dan Wilson. The Mariners are set to begin a three-game series at home against the White Sox on Monday, and Crawford's availability will likely hinge on if the inflammation has gone down.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits leadoff homer
Rotowire
Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

The homer was Crawford's fifth of the season, four of which have come over his last 14 games, a stretch in which he's hitting .250 (13-for-52). That's an improvement on his .208 average for the season, which comes with a .713 OPS, 14 RBI, 21 runs scored, one stolen base and three doubles over 36 contests. Crawford isn't a huge threat with power or speed, but his patience at the plate is enough to keep him in a starting role for a team that has struggled to hit this season.

Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Yields three homers in loss
Rotowire
Gore (2-2) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Mariners.
Gore's control issues from his previous outing didn't return in this one, as he threw 61 of 90 pitches for strikes. However, the Mariners were able to tee off against him, beginning with Rob Refsnyder's solo shot to open the bottom of the first. J.P. Crawford and Randy Arozarena also had two-run blasts in the game, making it Gore's worst outing of the season in terms of runs allowed. The southpaw has been passable to open his Rangers tenure, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB over 26 innings across his first five starts with his new team. The strikeout upside is there, but Gore's also carried a high walk rate often in his career, and this season's 4.2 BB/9 is an extension of that trend. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.
