Manager Bruce Bochy said that Crawford will bat cleanup when Buster Posey isn't in the lineup, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford has drawn high praise from Bochy, who also said he believes the shortstop has become such a good hitter that he has a chance to hit 25 homers this season. The former number eight hitter has solidified himself in the five-hole this season and will continue to climb up in the order when Posey takes a day off. The 30-year-old is 4-for-10 with one homer through two games this season.
