J.P. Crawford Update
J.P. Crawford went 3 for 4 as DH in XST today. He pulled a routine ground ball to first base in his first at bat. He lined a ball back up the middle that ricocheted off the pitcher’s foot for a single in his second at bat. And, he lined a drive over the second baseman for a single in his third at bat.
Crawford’s fourth at bat was high drama. He took a called strike, and didn’t like the call. He backed out of the box and was admonished by the umpire to get back in the box. Crawford slowly placed the arch of his left foot on the chalk line, then removed it and stepped back. The umpire immediately told him to get back in the box, again. One of the Phillies’ bench coaches (Williamsport Hitting Coach, Ed Dennis, I think) yelled, “Let him get ready!”. The umpire responded, “It’s a rule!”. Meanwhile, Crawford took his position in the box. Later in the at bat, he slashed a line drive over the shortstop into left center. He busted out of the box and hustled into second ahead of a weak throw for a double. This at bat came against a LHP.
No word on how quickly he will be activated.

Clearwater Adds Arano
The Clearwater Threshers added RHP Victor Arano to their roster from extended spring training.
RHP Yacksel Rios was added to 7-Day DL as of April 21.
The Threshers rotation is in doubt. It is listed as TBD for the next few days. I would have expected Nunez tonight, Kleven tomorrow, and Rios in Imhof’s slot again on Friday. With this news, it looks like Arano may join the rotation.
