Crawford grounded out in the third and was replaced by Dylan Moore in the bottom half.“Certain times you suck it up and try to stay in the game but your body tells you otherwise sometimes,” Crawford said. “It was kind of like a weird little collision and I just felt it right after, barely lift my arm up, and I knew I wasn’t going to help my team after that because I probably couldn’t make a throw to first base.”Crawford said X-rays were negative and he will get an MRI Wednesday.He is hitting .239 with four homers and 24 RBIs.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource
