YORK —Carl Crawford appears to be headed for season-ending surgery on his left
elbow. The Boston Red Sox said Sunday they planned to meet and decide the
following day whether the left fielder will have Tommy John surgery. Citing an
anonymous source, ESPN reported hours later that Crawford is expected to have
the operation Tuesday. Crawford has been playing with pain since coming off the
disabled list last month. He has said hes been told he will need Tommy John
surgery at some point to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his
throwing arm. “Carls given it everything he has. From everything I gather, the
elbow situation is kind of trending in the wrong way,” manager Bobby Valentine
said Sunday night after a 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees. Crawford went 1 for
4 with a ninth-inning single, perhaps his final at-bat of the year. The Red Sox
are off Monday. “Well take that time to talk with Carl and the doctors and kind
of get to the bottom of this entire situation,” Valentine said before the game.
Asked if the discussion would be about whether Crawford needs surgery at all or
simply when he should have it, general manager Ben Cherington said: “A little of
both.” If he has the ligament-replacement surgery, its estimated Crawford could
return to the lineup six to nine months later. The fourth-place Red Sox are
59-63, leaving them 13 1/2 games behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East
and 7 1/2 out in the wild-card race. “Well focus the decision more on whats best
for Carl,” Cherington said. “What gives him the best chance to be the player
that we know he can be for the longest period of time. “Weve known surgery is a
possibility if the symptoms didnt go away,” the first-year GM added. “These
conversations have been going on for months now. We know what the issue is.”
Crawford was a major disappointment last season, his first with Boston after
signing a $142 million, seven-year contract. He missed the first 89 gammes of
this season while recovering from left wrist surgery. Jamie Harper Jersey. He partially tore his
elbow ligament in April while rehabbing, slowing his return. Crawford was
activated from the disabled list July 16 and is batting .282 with three homers
and 19 RBIs. He has 10 doubles and 13 extra-base hits in August. “Hes played a
lot and hes got a real injury,” Cherington said. “Hes played well. To his
credit, hes played through this for the team.” Crawford batted second and played
left field Sunday night against Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda. “Hes
probably undergoing surgery, right? Its not good. But youve got to do what youve
got to do to be ready next year,” injured teammate David Ortiz said. “Youve got
to take care of yourself. If you are injured, youre injured. Nobody gets Tommy
John (surgery) because its fun. Tommy John (surgery) is a tough process and he
needs one because he needs one. If Im him, I would do exactly what hes doing,
taking care of it.” NOTES: RHP John Lackey, rehabbing from Tommy John surgery,
threw 45 pitches in the bullpen. “I was very impressed with what I saw,” said
Valentine, who did not rule out the possibility of Lackey pitching in the majors
this season. Cherington said he fully expects Lackey will pitch in a
“competitive environment” before the season ends, but that doesnt necessarily
mean a big league game. ... Cherington said demoted RHP Daniel Bard will be back
in the big leagues this year and the team will talk in the off-season about
whether he should be used as a starter or reliever going forward. ... Minor
league pitcher Brian Johnson was released from the hospital and Cherington said
the left-hander was doing well after he was hit in the face with a line drive
Saturday during the Future Games at Fenway Park. Johnson, a first-round draft
pick in June, sustained multiple orbital bone fractures on the left side of his
face, but there were no signs of a concussion. ’ ’ ’
