While sweeping the Padres wasn’t entirely a Pyrrhic victory, it might be slightly Pyrrh-adjacent, as the Mariners announced today that their de facto captain and steady offensive force, J.P. Crawford, will head to 7-day concussion protocol after a collision with third baseman Eugenio Suárez in Wednesday’s victory. J.P. stuck it through for a while after he and Geno collided in the fourth inning, but eventually was lifted in the eighth inning for Dylan Moore after Crawford felt unwell.
Here’s the collision if you missed it, but feel free to skip over it if you’ve already seen it.
Sam Haggerty was held out of last night’s game in Tacoma in case Crawford did have to go on the IL and will join the team in J.
