Lindor went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

His first-inning blast off Joe Musgrove gave Marcus Stroman and the Mets' bullpen all the offense they would need. Lindor seems to have found a groove at the plate, batting .314 (16-for-51) over the last 13 games with seven extra-base hits, including three of his six homers on the season.

Reyes went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over Pittsburgh.

Reyes reached on an error and scored in the second inning. He added a leadoff single in the fourth, stole second and scored again on a Christian Yelich three-RBI double. The versatile Reyes is slashing .256/.256/.302 with no home runs, one RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases across 43 plate appearances. The 27-year-old frequently serves as a defensive replacement.

Crawford was a late scratch from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals but is believed to be available off the bench, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It looks like the Giants simply decided that it was best to give the veteran shortstop the second half of the twin bill off, as he'll be able to come off the bench if the situation calls for it. Mauricio Dubon will start as shortstop and bat sixth.

DeJong (ribs), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Cubs on Friday.

DeJong was able to log a full game at shortstop in his return after a four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis. His season-long struggles continued, however, as he now carries a .172/.269/.359 slash line over 148 plate appearances.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 win over Washington.

The shortstop got aboard with a single in the fourth inning and moved to second on Donovan Solano's single. Crawford then stole third, but he was left on base when Mike Tauchman struck out. The 34-year-old Crawford has put together one of his best seasons with a .261/.351/.551 slash line, 14 home runs, 41 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases across 202 plate appearances.

Mateo went 0-for-1 with a stolen base as a pinch hitter in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mets.

Mateo reached on a fielder's choice and stole second in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old hasn't seen much more than utility usage yet. He's slashing .205/.247/.288 with a home run, five RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases across 78 plate appearances.

Seager (hand) is about two weeks away from beginning a rehab assignment, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Per Juan Toribio of MLB.com, Seager has begun hitting tennis balls while swinging with both hands and could transition to hitting baseballs within the next few days. The shortstop's rehab assignment is expected to take about a week once it begins, so he remains on track to rejoin the Los Angeles lineup in early July.

Owings (thumb) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Owings sprained his thumb in early April badly enough to require surgery and a trip to the 60-day injured list. Given the length of his absence, his rehab assignment probably won't be a short one, but it won't be too long before he's back on the big-league roster.

Baez (thumb) will start at shortstop and bat third Friday versus the Cardinals.

The 28-year-old sat out the three-game series against the Padres this week due to a bruised right thumb, but he will rejoin the lineup following Thursday's scheduled off day. Baez is 1-for-16 with six strikeouts over his past four games, so hopefully he'll rebound after receiving a few days off to recover from the injury.

Story (elbow) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-4 loss to Miami.

Story missed just under two weeks with an elbow injury, but he was able to play the whole game Thursday. The shortstop has had a bit of a down year with a .257/.325/.422 slash line, five home runs, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 209 plate appearances. He should resume an everyday role as he looks to get back up to his established level of performance at the dish.
