Sitting out against lefty Crawford is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact It will be Paul DeJong getting the start at shortstop versus southpaw Justin Steele. Crawford returned from the injured list Friday and has been on the bench both times the Giants have faced a lefty.

Sitting Saturday Crawford isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for San Diego will force the lefty-hitting Crawford to the bench. Paul DeJong will start at shortstop instead and bat seventh.

Activated, in lineup Friday Crawford (forearm) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth for the Giants on Friday night against the Padres following a two-week absence to heal a minor left forearm strain. The 36-year-old has batted just .194/.264/.318 across 270 plate appearances when healthy this season.

Could be activated this weekend Crawford (forearm) is expected to be with the Giants in San Diego this weekend and could come off the injured list then, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford did some hitting without issue Tuesday and will have another hitting session Wednesday. It sounds like he will be activated without going out on a rehab assignment first, and with rosters expanding Friday, he could rejoin the club without a corresponding move. Crawford has been out since mid-August with a left forearm strain.

Set to hit Tuesday Crawford (forearm) is expected to resume hitting Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford has not hit since landing on the injured list earlier this month, but it appears he is nearly ready to do so. He is eligible to be activated Tuesday, so if everything checks out after he gets his cuts in there is a chance he could be reinstated the same night.

Minimum IL stay possible Crawford (forearm) believes he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list right around when he's first eligible on Aug. 29, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle rep...

Impact Giants manager Gabe Kapler was a bit more cautious, saying Wednesday only that he thought there was enough time left in the season for Crawford to contribute. Crawford landed on the IL over the weekend with a strained left (non-throwing) forearm. The team has signed Paul DeJong as a stopgap at shortstop.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

MRI shows mild forearm strain An MRI taken Monday on Crawford's left forearm revealed a mild strain, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact That's better than some of the other possible diagnoses, but there remains no timetable as to when the veteran shortstop might be able to return to the Giants' active roster. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday and San Francisco signed Paul DeJong to a major-league contract Tuesday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

MRI on tap Crawford (forearm) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The MRI should shed light on the severity of Crawford's left forearm strain while also helping to inform a treatment plan for the shortstop, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. For whatever length of time Crawford is sidelined, the Giants are expected to turn to Johan Camargo and Casey Schmitt as their primary options at shortstop.

Brandon Crawford put on injured list by San Francisco Giants with strained forearm

All-Star shortstop Brandon Crawford was put on the 10-day injured list by the San Francisco Giants with a strained left forearm

AUGUST 20, 2023 • Associated Press

Heads to IL with forearm strain The Giants placed Crawford on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left forearm strain.

Impact Crawford will be eligible for activation beginning Aug. 29, but given that the injury is to his throwing arm, he could be at risk of missing well beyond the minimum 10 days. The 36-year-old has endured a rough 2023 campaign, slashing .194/.264/.318 with a career-worst 26.7 percent strikeout rate across 270 plate appearances. Casey Schmitt and Johan Camargo will likely be the primary replacements at shortstop while Crawford is on the shelf.

Not starting Saturday Crawford isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's been a tough season for Crawford so far, highlighted by the fact that he is just 1-for-28 since Aug. 5. Johan Camargo will fill in Saturday and bat eighth as the Giants search for more production at shortstop.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Crawford is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

Impact The Rays are starting a right-hander, but it's a day game after a night game and Crawford is in a 1-for-25 slide at the dish. Johan Camargo will occupy shortstop Wednesday.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Crawford isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rangers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact With Andrew Heaney set to start for the Rangers on Saturday, Crawford will stay put in the Giants' dugout for the beginning of the game. Thairo Estrada will shift to shortstop in Crawford's absence, allowing Mark Mathias to start at the keystone and bat ninth.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against southpaw Crawford is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Impact Crawford will join fellow left-handed hitters Joc Pederson and LaMonte Wade on the bench while the Giants stock up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Angels southpaw Patrick Sandoval. Mark Mathias and Thairo Estrada will serve as the Giants' starters in the middle infield while Crawford sits.

Out of lineup Thursday Crawford is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Casey Schmitt is playing shortstop and batting ninth as Isan Diaz covers second base and hits eighth. Crawford has enjoyed a productive week so far, but he's slashing just .215/.286/.355 through 239 total plate appearances this year at age 36.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swats sixth homer Crawford went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Crawford has gone 4-for-12 with three RBI over three games since he returned from a knee injury that sent him to the injured list. The shortstop has a .214/.286/.348 slash line with six homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases over 68 contests this season. With Marco Luciano back at Triple-A Sacramento, Crawford should retain his spot as the Giants' primary shortstop at least until Thairo Estrada (hand) is activated.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IL The Giants reinstated Crawford (knee) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Crawford wasn't expected to be back until Sunday, but the veteran shortstop will return to the Giants' bench a day early while Marco Luciano draws the start Saturday against Boston. Brett Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Sunday Crawford (knee) is expected to return to the Giants' lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After reporting improvement during the week, Crawford cleared his final hurdle Friday, logging at-bats against a minor-league pitcher. It sounds like he will return after missing just over the minimum, though his exact role is to be determined in light of Marco Luciano's promotion. Luciano was reportedly taking grounders at second base Friday.

Reports improvement Crawford (knee) is feeling better and will not require a cortisone shot, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford landed on the injured list Wednesday with left knee inflammation, but it sounds like he might need only a minimum IL stay. Casey Schmitt has been handling shortstop for the Giants with Crawford on the shelf.
