Crisp (elbow) is now expected to have surgery for a bone spur and chips in his right elbow and miss six to eight weeks, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle . This is rough news for the A's as they will likely be without their leadoff hitter for the first two months of the season. Crisp has struggled with the elbow all spring, but this is surprising news considering he just played in a minor league intrasquad game on Tuesday.
