Carl Crawford Has Wrist Surgery Today

The Providence Journal's Brian McPherson reports that Ben Cherington has announced that left-fielder Carl Crawford underwent left wrist surgery today—and his availability is "uncertain" for Opening Day. This is yet another "conditioning" issue that seems to surprise the Red Sox at the most inopportune times. This is, obviously, bad news for a team that needs to get off to a quick, positive start in 2012.
