Scouting Report: Brooks Crawford
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
J.P. Crawford, 31-year-old Mariners shortstop in his eighth season, suffered a right triceps contusion from a hit-by-pitch by Padres starter Lucas Giolito in the third inning of a game against San Diego. He was removed from the contest in the fifth inning due to difficulty getting extension with his arm. This marks his second injury setback of 2026, following right shoulder inflammation during spring training. Through 39 appearances, Crawford has posted a .217 batting average, .361 on-base percentage, .738 OPS, 6 home runs, and 16 RBIs. Recent analysis suggests his underlying offensive profile is encouraging with improved pitch recognition and count control, though defensive concerns have emerged as a complicating factor in his overall value assessment.
Strengths
- Steady veteran presence in eighth season with organization
- Strong on-base percentage (.361) indicating pitch discipline
