Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford is beginning his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. Crawford, who started the season on the injured list due to a right shoulder issue, will play for the Rainiers on Tuesday. Manager Dan Wilson indicated Crawford is progressing well and nearing a return to the major league roster.

Separately, top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson is reportedly nearing an agreement on an eight-year, $95 million contract. This deal, if finalized, would be the largest for a player yet to make their MLB debut. Emerson has shown promise in Triple-A Tacoma and spring training.
