Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist on Tuesday, putting in doubt his availability for Opening Day. Boston general manager Ben Cherington is confident that Crawford will be the team's left fielder for "the bulk of the season" and that the injury won't linger. "It was a basic debridement of some cartilage in his left wrist," said Cherington. "[It's a] relatively routine procedure. We expect Carl to be recovered and hitting at some point during Spring Training. We're not going to put an exact timeline on it. We expect him to be hitting at some point during Spring Training and then expect him to be in position to return to play at some point very early in the season." The injury was discovered when Crawford began increasing his offseason workouts.
