Friday night A’s outfielder and leadoff hitter Coco Crisp suffered a left pinkie fracture when he was tagged by Juan Uribe while sliding into second base in the third inning of the A’s 2-1 loss to the Giants.

As a result, Crisp will start the season on the disabled list, the A’s confirmed. The earliest he could possibly return to the lineup is April 17.

Fortunately, the A’s have suitable outfield options while Crisp recovers, including Gabe Gross, Eric Patterson, Jake Fox and Jack Cust.
