EDGE Analysis
Crawford was able to make the play after the ball hit him in the foot, but after a few warmup pitches he was removed from the contest. Chris Martin has entered the game in Crawford's place. The right-hander should be considered day-to-day at this stage.

Crawford (1-2) was tagged with the loss against the Angels on Monday. He allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three over two innings.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was taken deep in the eighth inning by Mickey Moniak. This was Crawford's first stint since being activated off the injured list due to a hamstring injury. The Red Sox will be activating Garrett Whitlock (elbow) later this week, at which point the team may send Crawford down to Triple-A Worcester, where he can work as a starter.

EDGE Analysis
Crawford ended up missing just the minimum 15 days while recovering from a mild left hamstring strain. Ryan Sherriff was optioned back to Triple-A Worcester as the corresponding transaction. Crawford should be multi-innings option now that he's back on the major-league roster.

Crawford (hamstring) allowed one run on three hits while striking out four over three innings of relief in a rehab appearance at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford worked behind rehabbing right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow), who started the contest. The Red Sox are expected to activate Crawford later this week, so the appearance he made Tuesday may be all he needs to get the green light to rejoin the big club.

Crawford (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Friday in San Diego, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will follow Garrett Whitlock (elbow) in a rehab outing Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester and then his next appearance should come out of the big-league bullpen. Crawford is one of the best long relievers in the game and logged a 1.25 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 21.1 innings across his six most recent MLB appearances.

Crawford's left hamstring strain which forced him to the injured list is considered mild, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford tweaked his hamstring during an appearance Wednesday versus the Blue Jays. It sounds like he could have avoided the IL, but this allows him to take his time and for the Red Sox to add a fresh bullpen arm.

Crawford allowed one run on three hits and struck out three over four relief innings in Friday's 5-2 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has been dominant coming out of the bullpen. The minor-league starter allowed one run on five hits while walking none and striking out 10 over 12.1 innings of relief. Garrett Whitlock's elbow injury opened a spot in the rotation, but the Red Sox called up Brayan Bello to start Saturday, which means Crawford will remain in the bullpen.
