Carl Crawford stated Friday that he hopes to avoid a trip to the disabled list, despite a recent MRI revealing a minor hamstring strain.

Crawford is not in the Dodgers lineup on Friday, marking the third straight game that he's missed with the hamstring issue. If he doesn't make his way back into the lineup before the end of the weekend, a trip to the disabled list seems likely.

Carl Crawford is out of the Dodgers' lineup Friday for the third straight game.

The Dodgers need to make a roster move in order to activate Friday's starter Clayton Kershaw from the bereavement list, but it's not clear whether a stint on the disabled list is being considered. It was assumed that Mark Ellis (quad) would go on the DL, but he was working out on the field Friday afternoon. Stay tuned.

Carl Crawford (hamstring) is not in the Dodgers' lineup Wednesday for the second straight game.

Crawford's tight right hamstring doesn't seem to be a big concern, but with Thursday's off day, the Dodgers can give the outfielder three consecutive nights off. Skip Schumaker is starting in left field Wednesday.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly indicated that Carl Crawford (hamstring) will also likely sit out Wednesday's game.

Crawford was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to tightness in his right hamstring. The Dodgers have a scheduled off-day on Thursday, so Mattingly sees it as an opportunity to give him some extended rest.

Carl Crawford was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with tightness in his right hamstring.

The Dodgers are calling the move precautionary, so Crawford can probably be safely considered day-to-day. Jerry Hairston took his place in left field and in the leadoff spot.

Carl Crawford went 2-for-4 with a homer and an RBI single against the Brewers on Friday.

Crawford doubled his season RBI total tonight, but he's been an effective leadoff man since day one. Not only is he batting .316, but he's walked nine times in 79 at-bats. In 2011, he walked a total of 23 times (and smiled zero times) in 506 at-bats for the Red Sox.
