Goes to bench Sunday Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Crawford had started at shortstop in four of the past five games, but he'll give way to rookie Casey Schmitt for the series finale. Though Crawford still grades out well defensively, his middling .192/.276/.350 slash line over 134 plate appearances has made it difficult for the Giants to justify giving him an everyday role at this stage of his career. Expect him to continue to see part-time duties behind Schmitt while the Giants are at full strength in the infield.

Delivers off the bench Crawford went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's victory over the Rockies.

Impact Crawford, pinch-hitting for Casey Schmitt in the ninth inning, delivered an RBI double off Pierce Johnson to tie the game 4-4 before scoring on Joc Pederson's two-out base hit. The 36-year-old Crawford had been stuck in a 1-for-13 slump coming into Thursday's contest while retreating to a part-time role. Overall, he's slashing just .195/.283/.354 with four homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored through 127 plate appearances this season.

On bench Sunday Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford had started in five of the past six games and should enjoy a semi-regular role while Thairo Estrada (wrist) is on the shelf, but the veteran shortstop hasn't made a strong case to deserve steady playing time when the Giants are at full strength. Over 119 plate appearances on the season, Crawford is maintaining a .629 OPS -- the lowest mark of his career since his 2011 rookie campaign.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Crawford will head to the bench after he started each of the Giants' last three games, going 4-for-8 with two doubles and two walks over that stretch. Even with the recent hot run at the plate, Crawford is still maintaining a lowly .639 OPS for the season, and it's unclear if the Giants remain committed to him as a regular in the middle infield. Rookie Casey Schmitt appears to be locked in as an everyday option at one of the two middle-infield spots, leaving Crawford and Brett Wisely to vie for most of the opportunities at the other spot.
