Crawford could make his major-league debut Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Triple-A Lehigh Valley's season will come to an end Monday, which makes Tuesday the likely day Crawford joins the Phillies. He has recently started playing second and third base in order to increase his versatility. That could help him earn up to three-to-four starts per week in September if manager Pete Mackanin is willing to sit his starters more frequently. Crawford had a terrible start to his season, but has turned things around since July 1, hitting .276/.377/.529 with 12 home runs in 210 at-bats.
