Coco Crisp left Wednesday's game against the Mariners after crashing hard into the outfield wall.
Crisp made a great play on a line drive smash from Kyle Seager but struck the wall with a ton of force and laid on the ground for close to four minutes. He eventually walked off the field under his own power but was clearly in pain. The A's should have an update soon.

Coco Crisp went 2-for-5 with a solo home run as the Athletics routed the Rangers on Wednesday.
Crisp continues to swing the stick well, pushing his slash line up to .278/.393/.472 with Wednesday's effort. The homer was his third of the year. He'd need to pick up the power even more to get on pace to match last season's 22, but 15 is looking like a realistic target.

Coco Crisp is not in the Athletics' lineup Wednesday.
Crisp was in the lineup the last three nights after missing a few games with a hamstring issue. It doesn't appear he aggravated the ailment, so this looks to be just a day off. Craig Gentry is in center field Wednesday.

Coco Crisp went 3-for-4 with a walk, two stolen base and two RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.
Crisp had been out of the starting lineup for four of the past six games with a hamstring issue. Because of that specific malady, it was nice to see him get back to his old ways so quickly, getting on base and creating opportunities with his legs. Minor injuries aside, Crisp has enjoyed a spectacular start to the season, slashing .324/.469/.541 with two homers and six steals (in six chances) over 37 at-bats.

Coco Crisp is not in the Athletics lineup for Saturday afternoon's contest against the Astros.
Crisp has been dealing with a minor hamstring injury, and the A's likely just want to play it cautiously and ease him back into action. Craig Gentry is getting the start in center field and leading off for the A's.

Coco Crisp (hamstring) is not in the Athletics' lineup for a third straight game Wednesday.
Like in Tuesday's game, Crisp will be available as a pinch-hitter. With a day off Thursday, A's manager Bob Melvin just wanted to maximize Crisp's rest to get the hamstring fully healed. Expect him back in the lineup on Friday.
