Crisp out 1-2 months with broken finger
Center fielder Coco Crisp will be out for 1-2 months after breaking his left pinkie finger in a spring training game on Saturday.
Crisp, whom Oakland considered a key offseason acquisition, was enjoying a great spring before suffering the injury. He was batting .432 with two home runs and eight RBI, appearing eager to take advantage of the opportunity with the A’s after struggling with Kansas City last year in another season cut short by injury.
Oakland still has burner Rajai Davis patrolling center field, but Crisp was part of a shift in strategy for the team that concentrates more on speed and aggressiveness on the base paths. Without him, it will be interesting to see if that thinking changes.
