Crawford went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, an additional run scored and a double in Sunday's 14-2 win over the Athletics.

Crawford's slam in the sixth inning off Athletics reliever J.B. Wendelken blew things wide open for the Giants' offense. It was Crawford's sixth homer of the year. The shortstop is slashing .283/.352/.483 with 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base in 46 contests.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Rojas received the start in Game 1 and went 0-for-2 with one walk. Jazz Chisholm will take over at shortstop for the Marlins.

Berti (finger) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The 30-year-old has been sidelined since Sept. 7 with the right finger issue, but he'll rejoin the Marlins ahead of Sunday's doubleheader. Berti has a .250/.354/.354 slash line with two homers and eight stolen bases in 30 games, and he should return to his super-utility role.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

The 22-year-old's overall numbers are downright ugly, but Garcia has picked up a little momentum at the plate, recording seven hits in his last 21 at-bats. He will give way to Freddy Galvis at shortstop Sunday.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Rojas took Patrick Corbin deep to lead off the first inning. Hitting atop the order for just the third time this season, Rojas led the Marlins with seven total bases, and he's 5-for-13 with three extra-base hits when batting in that slot. Over his last 15 games, Rojas is slashing .360/.418/.600.

Seager is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Seager will sit for the first time since Aug. 20, even though he's hitting .324/.374/.610 in 25 games since then. Chris Taylor will take over at shortstop in his absence.

Ahmed will hit the bench Saturday against Houston, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Ahmed will sit for just the third time all year. Josh Rojas will start at shortstop in his absence.

Crawford will hit the bench against lefty Jesus Luzardo and the Athletics on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford has sat frequently against lefties this season, though he'd been in the lineup against the last two the Giants faced. Daniel Robertson takes over at shortstop on this occasion.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-5 win over the Royals.

Arcia drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning to force in the Brewers' second run of the contest. He also scored the go-ahead run on Jacob Nottingham's grand slam two at-bats later. Arcia went deep himself for a three-run blast in the fifth. The shortstop has four homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases while slashing .250/.318/.386 in 49 games this year.

Berti (finger) got through a simulated game Thursday without issues, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Berti has been out for the minimum 10 days with a bruised finger, but it doesn't sound as though he'll miss all that much more time. He hit .250/.354/.354 with eight steals in 30 games prior to the injury.
