Crawford scratched from Wednesday’s lineup
J.P. Crawford was scratched from the Mariners’ starting lineup on Wednesday due to right oblique soreness. The 29-year-old shortstop was in the team’s initial lineup, but he was pulled after being a full participant in pregame workouts. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but oblique injuries are notoriously tricky and almost always wind up requiring a trip to the injured list.
Carter hits home run, triple in Rangers’ win
Evan Carter went 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, and two RBI to lead the Rangers to a 5-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday. Carter had an excellent day at the plate with his second multi-hit game in his last three contests. He went yard in the fourth inning, going back-to-back with Adolis García for a pair of homers off Bryce Miller. Carter drove in a second run with a triple in the seventh. The 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .215/.315/.456 with four homers, 16 runs scored, and one steal across 92 plate appearances.
