The Seattle Mariners on Friday placed shortstop J.P. Crawford, who sustained a concussion in a collision with a teammate, on the seven-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday.
Crawford and third baseman Eugenio Suarez collided when both tried to field a ground ball during the fourth inning of a 6-1 victory over the visiting San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Crawford eventually came out of the game and later was diagnosed with a concussion.
