Crawford is starting at third base and hitting seventh in his big-league debut Tuesday against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Crawford is a shortstop by trade, but the Phillies will deploy him at the hot corner in his first big-league start. He should see time at shortstop and third base over the final four weeks. Crawford hit .285/.385/.544 line with 13 homers in 228 at-bats since the beginning of July en route to earning this promotion. The Phillies will have some interesting roster decisions to make this offseason, but the expectation is that Crawford remains the team's shortstop of the future.
