Seattle Mariners shortstop JP Crawford suffered a hairline fracture in his right pinky Monday night and is headed to the injured list, the Seattle Times reported after the Mariners’ 3-1 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Angels.

Leading off the bottom of the first, Crawford was struck by an 0-1 changeup from Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson, a former teammate with the Mariners. Crawford immediately dropped his bat and clutched his hand while being attended to by a trainer.

Crawford eventually went to first base and, after an infield single by Victor Robles, scored on a line-drive single by Cal Raleigh.

However, Crawford didn’t take the field in the top of the second, with first baseman Dylan Moore moving to short and Luke Raley entering the game to play first.

Crawford, 29, is batting .204 with a .299 on-base percentage, a .347 slugging percentage, nine homers and 32 RBIs in 77 games this season.

The injury to Crawford came a day after the Mariners lost star center fielder Julio Rodriguez to a sprained right ankle suffered while crashing into the wall while trying to make a catch.

Rodriguez did not play Monday and is considered day-to-day.
