HBT: Red Sox expect Crawford to miss all of April

Most of the updates about Carl Crawford?s recovery from wrist surgery have involved setbacks or delays this spring, and now Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe writes: ?Don?t expect Crawford to join the Red Sox before May.?

That?s not an official timetable, at least not yet, but according to Abraham he?s yet to take batting practice and will stay behind in extended spring training once the season begins.

Bobby Valentine has said previously that Crawford will need ?50 at-bats somewhere? before potentially being cleared to rejoin the Red Sox, which means he?ll be several weeks away from returning after he resumes game action. And he?s not close to that yet.

Initially when Crawford underwent surgery in January the hope was that he?d miss just 2-3 weeks of the regular season, but at this point even early May seems optimistic. Ryan Sweeney and Cody Ross will be Boston?s starting corner outfielders for at least a month.
