San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Crawford has gotten off to a sluggish start this season, slashing just .169/.244/.352 with four home runs, 10 RBI, and three stolen bases across 71 at-bats. He's starting at shortstop and batting seventh on Sunday against the D-Backs. Casey Schmitt is starting at third and batting sixth. David Villar was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) is expected to be activated from the injured list and return to the lineup on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has been on the injured list since May 1 with a right calf strain. The 36-year-old is off to a slow start, slashing .169/.244/.352 with four home runs, six runs, 10 RBI, and three steals across 21 games. He continues to sit against lefties and could lose some at-bats to Casey Schmitt. Crawford is mainly an option in deep-league or NL-Only formats until he can turn this around at the plate.
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) has continued to participate in baseball activities and will likely be ready to return from the injured list on Thursday. The veteran was placed on the IL on May 1 with a right calf strain. Before going down, Crawford was slashing .169/.244/.352 with four home runs, six runs, 10 RBI, and three steals across 21 games. When he is back, that will push Casey Schmitt out of a starting role at shortstop. The 24-year-old was recently promoted and has only played in two games with the Giants, but is hitting .500 with a home run and three runs.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford had the best season of his career in 2021. Crawford managed a .298 AVG, 24 home runs, 90 runs batted in, 79 runs, and 11 stolen bases across 549 plate appearances. Crawford improved his plate discipline showing in his 10.2% BB%, 19.1% K%, and career-low 27.9% chase rate. Furthermore, his 11.5% barrel % and 14.7-degree launch angle were both his highest of the statcast era, as was his xSLG, xwOBA, xwOBACON, and hard-hit %. The improvement in plate discipline and overall approach demonstrate that Crawford's meteoric 2021 season was no fluke. He hit the ball harder than ever before.Looking forward to 2022, Crawford will be 35, which should add some inherent age regression into his numbers. Steamer projects him for a .253 AVG, 19 HR, 71 RBI, 67 R, and 7 SB across 585 PA in 2022. Crawford's increased age and historical numbers suggest we shouldn't expect double-digit stolen bases. Furthermore, the average will likely fall considering his .266 xBA. Crawford's elite barrel rates and solid plate discipline emphasize that his power and run production should remain. That would mean that the current projections for his batting average and stolen bases are on par while the home runs, runs batted in, and runs are likely a touch too low. Crawford's NFBC ADP currently sits at 201.58 which has him going in between Nicky Lopez and Eugenio Suarez. Feel comfortable taking Crawford next to Amed Rosario and Luis Urias, who are both being selected around ADP 170. Shortstop is an incredibly deep position so it's completely viable to wait for a shortstop selection and load up on one of the positions that aren't quite as robust early in the draft.This is especially true when you can get players like Brandon Crawford coming off an MVP caliber season near pick 200.
