Athletics' Coco Crisp: Scratched Sunday with sore neck

Crisp was scratched from the Athletics' initial lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays due to a sore neck.

Crisp was initially slated to bat leadoff for the A's, but the late-arriving injury prompted manager Bob Melvin to change things up. With Crisp out of the lineup, Jake Smolinski will shift over to center field, Danny Valencia will move from first base to right field, and Yonder Alonso will enter the lineup at first base. Crisp should be viewed as day-to-day until the Athletics provide another update on his situation.
