Manager Gabe Kapler said that Crawford was scratched from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals because of cramping between games, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

This update from Kapler explains why the veteran shortstop was a late scratch from the nightcap. The skipper noted that Crawford could get the day off again Sunday if the issue persists through the night, so he can be considered questionable for the series finale at this point.

Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 15-2 win over Detroit.

Anderson scored all three times he got on base, and he added a two-RBI single in the fifth inning. The shortstop continues to impress atop Chicago's order. He has a .299/.341/.431 slash line with six home runs, 25 RBI, 38 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 226 plate appearances. He has yet to go more than three games without a hit this season after entering Saturday 0-for-7 in his last two contests.

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.

Correa is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Correa isn't dealing with any injury but is simply getting a routine day off, as he finds himself on the bench for just the fifth time this season. Robel Garcia starts at shortstop in his absence.

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.

Bogaerts (knee) is absent from the lineup as expected Saturday against Toronto.

Bogaerts was scratched from Friday's lineup with a sore left knee. Manager Alex Cora said that he expected Bogaerts to miss at least two games but that the shortstop was in contention to return Sunday. Marwin Gonzalez starts in his absence.

Bogaerts (knee) is not expected to play Saturday.

Bogaerts was scratched from Friday's lineup with soreness in his left knee and replaced by Marwin Gonzalez. On a radio pre-game show, manager Alex Cora said Bogaerts will likely miss a couple of days, with the hope he can return Sunday.

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.
