Crawford has a stiff neck, which is why he is not in the lineup Saturday, the San Jose Mercury News' Andrew Baggarly reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Crawford is healthy enough to play, but given the minor ailment he will get a day off. It's unfortunate, as this was primed to be an ideal matchup for Crawford against a righty (Eddie Butler) in Coors Field, but getting him fully healthy is more important in the long run. Kelby Tomlinson is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Saturday.
