Carl Crawford injury: Dodgers LF suffers left hamstring cramp, leaves game

Crawford missed two games on April 30 and May 1 with a tight right hamstring, but he clearly was feeling pain in his left leg this time around.
He does have something of an injury history beyond that, having Tommy John surgery on his left elbow last August. He was also held out of the starting lineup on Friday after tweaking his back making a diving catch on Thursday.
Crawford has been playing well, and is currently hitting .301/.358/.470. If he misses any additional time, the Dodgers will definitely be in a bad way: Matt Kemp hit the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a right hamstring strain. It's just more bad news for the 23-30 Dodgers, who are in last place in the NL West division.
