Coco Crisp (ear) expected to land on DL
Coco Crisp - OF - Oakland Athletics
May 4, 2012 - 9:10 AM ET

The Athletics are expected to place Coco Crisp (ear) on the disabled list prior to Friday's game.

Crisp has been dealing with lingering inner-ear and sinus infections, most recently having to be removed from Wednesday's game after another flare-up. He first started having problems over two weeks ago and has missed quite a few games already. Michael Taylor will replace him on the roster, but Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes would figure to see most of the starts in left field.
