San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is absent from the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Washington Nationals.
With lefty Gio Gonzalez on the mound, Crawford will head out in favor of Alen Hanson at short. Evan Longoria is entering the fold at third, where Hanson played a night ago.
Crawford is projected to hit .270 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI over the rest of the season.
