Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Friday's game versus the Phillies.
The veteran shortstop is receiving a rare start as Masyn Winn gets a day off. Crawford is a woeful 3-for-31 (all singles) at the plate for St. Louis this season. This will be the first time he's played in nearly two weeks.
