San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (quad) will test out his quad injury before Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was pulled for Tuesday's game due to quad tightness. This sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully Crawford can avoid a trip to the injured list. Crawford might miss Wednesday's game, but this shouldn't be something that keep him out too long. Fantasy managers will have to check back later in the night for another update on Crawford.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (quad) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies due to right quad tightness. After the game, Giants manager Gabe Kapler stated that Crawford probably could have stayed in the game and did not seem overly concerned about the injury. The 35-year-old should be considered day-to-day at this point. After the best offensive season of his career in 2021, Crawford has been underwhelming at the plate thus far this year. Over 50 games, he's slashing .220/.307/.362 with five home runs, 24 RBI and 24 runs.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (quad) exited Tuesday's contest against the Rockies with right quad tightness, per SF Chronicles' Susan Slusser. The veteran went 0-for-2 before being removed from the game. More will likely be known after the game or in the next day or so, but it would be a defensive blow to the Giants if Crawford were to miss any time. However, Crawford has had a disappointing offensive season to this point, posting a .220/.307/.362 slash line. Fantasy managers should be on the lookout for more news.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (illness) was scratched from the lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins with a non-COVID illness. Make sure to remove him from your fantasy lineups before the game kicks off.

Crawford now has four homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored, and one steal on the season to go with his .218/.306/.352 slash line. It's fair to say that the first few months of 2022 have been a major disappointment for fantasy investors after Crawford posted an .895 OPS with 24 long balls in 2021. He remains a key part of a potent offense, but it's hard to expect a return to last year's form.

This production is coming after a career 2021 season in which the 35-year-old hit .298 with 24 HRs. Given his age, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Crawford reverts to his pre-pandemic season production, unable to provide any fantasy value.

He's off to a slow start to the 2022 season as he's gone just 3-for-16 with no extra-base hits. We'll see if he can start channelling that 2021 magic again soon.

The veteran has started the playoffs right where he left off from the regular season, but the rest of the Giants lineup was not able to muster enough offense to stay in the game.

Crawford, along with basically the entire Giants team, has been dominant over his past seven games, slashing .462/.548/.692 in 26 at-bats, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

The three-time Gold Glove recipient and three-time World Series champion has been a key piece to San Francisco's offensive success this season and is only heating up. Over his last seven games, Crawford has hit .379/.375/.621 with one home run, six RBI, and five runs scored on 11 hits. Fantasy managers should be particularly ecstatic to have him on their rosters down the stretch.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford continued his renaissance season Wednesday night, going 1-for-5 with his ninth steal of the season. Crawford is becoming more opportunistic as the season goes on, with five of those nine coming in his past 30 games. Crawford has enjoyed an outstanding season with an .895 OPS, 18 homers, 58 runs, and 63 RBI. There's no reason to believe that won't continue going forward, and fantasy managers who snapped him up off the waiver wire have to be feeling very smart.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kris Bryant was the face of the Chicago Cubs for a long time. His new bosses in San Francisco were thrilled that joining the Giants meant so much to him, despite the emotions of leaving the only major league team he's ever known. Bryant grew up in Las Vegas and loved to watch Giants slugger Barry Bonds — and now the versatile star will get a chance to play not only in the home run king's former spot in left field, but all over the diamond. The first-place Giants made a big splash just before the trade deadline Friday by acquiring Bryant from the Cubs for two minor leaguers. “Could not be more excited to be a Giant,” president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said. “I’ve had a number of phone calls after trades with players. Never spoken to a player more excited to be coming to a new organization.” The 29-year-old Bryant, whose NL MVP season of 2016 helped the Cubs win their first World Series title in 108 years, got word while wearing his Chicago uniform and was...
