Carl Crawford was diagnosed with a unlar collateral ligament injury to his left elbow by Dr. Andrews today. The injury does not require surgery at this time but Crawford will have to rest his elbow for as long as three months. Even with the trade for Byrd the Red Sox still need some help in the outfield. Lars Anderson who usually plays first base was in left field tonight to fill in for Ross.
UPDATE: It is possible that Crawford could return as early as June.
