Brandon Crawford News
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) and outfielder Joc Pederson (concussion) have both been activated from the injured list, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. Crawford has been sidelined since July 15th. The 35-year-old is slashing .215/.297/.332 with five homers, 33 RBI, 7.9 BB%, and 20.4 K% this year. Unless he turns things around offensively, Crawford should be left on waivers in most leagues. Pederson, on the other hand, has fared a bit better, slashing .242/.319/.492 with 17 homers, 43 RBI, 9.1 BB%, and 22.1 K%. He has been on the seven-day concussion injured list since July 28th. Pederson is a true power threat and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. The 35-year-old has been sidelined until July 15 due to bruising and inflammation of his right knee. He is slashing .215/.297/.332 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 29 runs, and a stolen base over 279 plate appearances in 72 games in 2022. Crawford is expected to be the Giants' primary shortstop when he returns but is more of a fantasy option in deep-league formats.
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since July 16 due to inflammation in his right knee. The expectation is that Crawford will play at least two or three games before returning to the Giants roster. That being said, newly acquired Dixon Machado is expected to play until Crawford is ready. The hope is that Crawford won't suffer any setbacks and can return by the first half of next week.

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.
