Crawford: Treating Wrist As Precaution

Devil Rays outfielder Carl Crawford has had trainers apply hot wax to his left hand and wrist this spring as a method for combating the effects of tendinitis. Owners shouldn’t be too concerned, as Crawford has managed to produce despite dealing with fluctuating wrist pain for the past couple of seasons. If anything, attacking the problem with pre-emptive treatment is probably better for him in the long run. Besides, the 25-year-old speedster’s legs appear to be as healthy as ever, as he swiped a pair of bags in Wednesday’s Spring Training contest vs. the Indians.
