Giants' Brandon Crawford out again Thursday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (calf) remains out of the Giants' starting lineup on Thursday.

What It Means:

Crawford is still sidelined after being hit in the left calf by a pitch during Monday's game. Monday was his first game back from an oblique issue. Ehire Adrianza is starting in Crawford's place tonight against the Colorado Rockies.

Always a defensive wizard, Crawford is in the midst of a breakout season with the bat, posting a career-best .343 wOBA, easily outdoing his 2014 clip of .309. Crawford's wOBA ties him with Troy Tulowitzki for best among shortstops. We have Crawford projected for a .712 OPS, four homers and 17 RBI the rest of the way -- assuming the calf issue is minor.
