After icing the ankle in the clubhouse, the training staff decided to take a precautionary X-ray. The X-ray was still pending after the game, but the training staff didn't anticipate any serious revelations.
"I was really concerned about Joe," manager Ozzie Guillen said after the game. "I don't have the final report yet, but he got hit pretty good. Joe is a tough guy. I wouldn't have finished that at-bat. I would have left right away."
Crede struck out swinging to end the inning.
Crede learned he won the third-base job Tuesday, when Josh Fields was demoted to Triple-A Charlotte after a protracted battle for the roster spot.
