Idle for series finale Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The Phillies will hold the left-handed-hitting Crawford out for just the second time this season, shielding him from Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga while adding another right-handed bat (Otto Kemp) to the starting outfield. Crawford has done well early on to hold his own at the plate with a .288 average and .755 OPS, but the rookie hasn't offered much of an impact on the bases (one steal in two attempts) after swiping 46 bags in 113 Triple-A games in 2025.

Knocks in game-winning run Crawford went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Crawford has hit safely in four of his first five appearances of the season, including each of the last three, but this was his best outing of the campaign. Aside from extending his on-base streak to five games and collecting a season-high three hits, Crawford also knocked in the game-winning run with a single to right field, allowing Brandon Marsh to cross home plate and completing the Phillies' comeback. This was Crawford's first RBI of the season.

Contract selected from minors The Phillies selected Crawford's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact The Phillies informed Crawford last week that he wound be on the Opening Day roster, though there was never much doubt. He will operate as the club's primary center fielder and is poised to bat ninth in the lineup. Crawford slashed .334/.411/.452 with seven home runs and 46 stolen bases at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2025 and should be an immediate fantasy contributor in the steals department, at the very least.
