Crawford (tightness, left groin) was scratched from the Devil Rays' lineup just before game time Friday night, but it appears he's in no danger of missing Opening Day, the Tampa Tribune reports.
According to the report, Crawford huddled with Manager Joe Maddon after BP and mentioned he was feeling some tightness in his left groin. However, Crawford seemed upbeat upon returning to the clubhouse. "I've been running real hard these last three or four days, so we're just kind of giving it a little break," Crawford said, adding that he'd return to action before Opening Day "for sure." It sounds as if Crawford will be out for a few days, but no more than that, with apparent minor groin discomfort.
