Crawford: I'm Ready For ALDSRays' outfielder Carl Crawford has declared himself ready to play in the ALDS later this week. Tampa Bay will play either Minnesota or Chicago depending on who wins the tiebreaker game on Tuesday afternoon. "I think I did enough today [Monday]," Crawford said. "I mean, I didn't get hits, but I showed that the bat speed is fine, and today, I'll probably do the same thing. So if it's a tough decision after that, then I don't really know what to say. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for them." Crawford underwent surgery Aug. 14 for a partial dislocation of his right middle finger tendon. "I think that's the one good thing that's happened out of this whole thing," Crawford said. "I got a chance to rest my legs. I felt good running today.

Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Rays' Crawford Unlikely For ALDSRays' outfielder Carl Crawford is unlikely to return in time for the ALDS as he enters the sixth week of his eight-week rehabilitation period, according to Tampa Tribune. "Right now the doctor's still saying eight weeks is when he wants me to do stuff, so we have to convince him," Crawford said. "Right now, it's looking pretty tough to convince him." Crawford said earlier in the week that he hoped to contribute as a defensive specialist or pinch runner. He took swings off a tee again Wednesday and had hoped to move on to regular batting practice this weekend in Detroit. "If I'm not taking BP this week, the first round is looking a little iffy right now," Crawford said. "That's what I was really worried about, and that's what I'm more disappointed about."
