Marco Scutaro

4/5/2006

Scutaro started at short Tuesday for the injured Bobby Crosby, and he should play regularly for the A's with the starting shortstop expected to miss about a week. Crosby suffered a bruised and cut index finger when he was spiked tagging New York's Robinson Cano on a steal attempt in Monday's opener.

Scutaro is in line to take over at short for Oakland, after starter Bobby Crosby was diagnosed with an ankle fracture on Wednesday. Crosby will be out at least three weeks, so Scutaro will get a chance to build on his .243 average, five homers and 26 RBI in 93 games this season.

Scutaro lost a starting job on Monday, when shortstop Bobby Crosby came off the disabled list, but he kept a major league address. The 29-year-old Scutaro seemed like the odd man out with Crosby returning from an Opening Day injury, but he is more veratile than Keith Ginter, who also has struggled mightily this spring after being acquired from Milwaukee during the offseason. On Monday, Ginter was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for Crosby.
