Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Crawford's sixth-inning solo shot off Trevor Bauer brought the Giants to within one run of Los Angeles' lead but wound up being the final run of the game. Crawford's 17 home runs are third most among MLB shortstops and only four off his career high of 21 set in 2015.

Seager (hand) has been experiencing soreness when swinging a bat and has been shut down from hitting for now, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Manager Dave Roberts stated that Seager's hand "just isn't responding" as the team had hoped, and as a result, he hasn't swung a bat since last week, per DiGiovanna. "We're going to put hitting on back-burner and slow play it right now," stated Roberts. At this point, there is no clear timetable for Seager's return.

Reyes was recalled by the Brewers on Monday.

Reyes appeared in five minor-league games since he was sent down, and he went 4-for-19 with three doubles, three runs, two walks and four strikeouts during that time. He'll now rejoin the major-league club and should mainly serve in a depth role going forward.

Edman isn't starting Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman had started in each of the last 10 games, but he went 0-for-12 with two strikeouts across his last three appearances. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat eighth.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Baez slammed a solo home run off Clayton Kershaw in the fourth inning for the Cubs' lone run. It was his second long ball of the series, and he recorded a hit in every game against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old is slashing .228/.267/.472 in 270 plate appearances. He leads the Cubs in home runs (18) and steals (nine); however, he ranks dead last in baseball with a 38.0 percent strikeout rate and has a National League-worst 3.3 percent walk rate.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Marlins.

Turner went hitless in his first two at-bats Sunday, but he blasted a go-ahead home run to right field in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has now crossed the plate in each of his last nine games, and he's hit .353 with two home runs, two doubles, 10 runs, four RBI and three stolen bases during that time.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Seager no longer has a timetable for a return after lingering soreness has emerged in his right hand, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Seager was hoping to begin a minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend, but Roberts said he won't do so until the hand soreness subsides. The shortstop was targeting an early July return from the hand fracture, but now there's no clear time frame for when Seager could be activated. Gavin Lux will continue to serve as the club's primary shortstop during Seager's absence.

Crawford is out of the lineup Sunday against Oakland, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Crawford will receive the day off against lefty Cole Irvin after starting the past seven games. Mauricio Dubon will work at shortstop Sunday for the Giants.

DeJong went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

DeJong launched his ninth homer of the season in the second inning against Pittsburgh's starter, JT Brubaker, and he also made his presence felt on the basepaths when he stole his third base of the campaign. The shortstop ended a 12-game homer drought with this solo shot and also improved to 3-for-3 in stolen bases chances.

Berti went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Nationals.

Berti broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning when he went yard off of Washington starter Patrick Corbin. It was the fourth round-tripper of the season for Berti, who also picked up a single. The veteran utilityman, who got the start at third base, is slashing .224/.324/.350 across 214 plate appearances. Berti has five steals on the year but has also been caught four times.
