J.P. Crawford to join Phillies in New York

Phillies’ top prospect J.P. Crawford will join the Phillies in New York during their series against the Mets, according to numerous reports.

Crawford slammed a two-run, first-inning home run to fuel the Lehigh Valley IronPigs to a 5-4 win Monday, clinching the team a playoff berth and capping an unlikely last-minute run to the International League wild card.

On the season Crawford is hitting .243/.351/.405 with 15 home runs and 63 runs batted in.
