Crawford (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

For the second game in a row, the Giants will be without both of their normal starters on the left side of the infield with Evan Longoria (hamstring) also sitting out. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at shortstop for Crawford, who is being listed as day-to-day.

Owings had surgery on his thumb in Arizona and has returned to Denver where he is wearing a soft cast, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

The surgery was considered successful, though Owings will have to rest for a substantial period of time. Assuming all goes well, he should be able to start taking ground balls in roughly 2-to-3 weeks.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Aledmys Diaz will pick up a start at shortstop while Correa sits for the first time in 2021. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench Sunday, Correa will look to extend his three-game RBI streak in Monday's series opener against the Mariners.

Mateo stole a base as a pinch runner in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Mateo took over on the basepaths for Luis Campusano in the ninth inning after the latter drew a walk. Mateo stole second to get into scoring position, but the Padres' subsequent hitters couldn't bring him home. The steal was Mateo's first this season. He is slashing .227/.346/.318 through 26 plate appearances.

Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Adames will be getting a maintenance day after going 4-for-18 with a triple and a stolen base while starting each of the past five games at shortstop. Joey Wendle will shift over from third base to cover Adames' usual spot in the infield.

Lindor is starting at shortstop and hitting third in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Lindor has hit exclusively from the second spot in the order prior to Sunday's game. However, the team shifted their lineup a bit, with Pete Alonso rising from the cleanup spot to second and Lindor shifting down one spot. Despite a potent lineup on paper, the Mets have averaged only 3.3 runs per game this season -- second-worst in the league -- so manager Luis Rojas may be looking to jumpstart the offense.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's victory over San Francisco.

Berti spoiled a strong start by Giants hurler Kevin Gausman with a seventh-inning homer that tied the game at 1-1. He tacked on another RBI with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to help break the game open. After playing a limited role early in the season, Berti has now started five straight games, and he has collected one hit in each of his past four. He has yet to steal a base this season, so his fantasy production has been disappointing overall.

Correa went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 16-2 rout of the Angels.

He set the tone for the afternoon by leading off the bottom of the first inning with a blast off Griffin Canning. Correa has had a fast start to the season, slashing .284/.330/.481 through 20 games with four homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs.

Crawford was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Marlins due to right quadriceps tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford dealt with side tightness earlier in the week, but it's an entirely separate issue which will sideline him Saturday. It's not yet clear how much time he's expected to miss. Mauricio Dubon will move to shortstop in his absence, with Austin Slater entering the lineup in center.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas finds himself on the bench for just the third time this season. He's gotten off to a solid start at the plate, hitting .281/.378/.391 through 64 plate appearances. Jazz Chisholm slides to shortstop in his absence, opening up second base for Jose Devers to make his MLB debut.
