CRISP COULD BE OUT 6-8 WEEKS

According to CBS 4, Crisp may be out 6-8 weeks with a fractured index finger on his left hand injured in Saturday's victory over Baltimore.

If true, the Red Sox will be without Crisp until early June. That means Stern and possibly Pena will see a lot more playing time. That isn't the end of the world, but it hurts.

The report isn't confirmed by the Red Sox and Crisp will be examined today. Hopefully the report is just a rumor gone awry.
