Tightness in his calf and left oblique caused Giants infielder Brandon Crawford to leave Tuesday's game prematurely, the team announced.

Crawford recently returned from the DL after battling a calf and oblique issue, but is expected to miss the next couple of games, reports CSN Bay Area. 

Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor was not in Tuesday's lineup due to an illness, reports MLB.com. Lindor began feeling sick Monday.

Astros prized rookie Carlos Correa managed just one hit Monday in Oakland, but he certainly make the most of it. He launched a three-run homer in the seventh inning for his 17th home run this season.

He also had an RBI groundout in the first inning and finished the game with four RBI.

Correa is 6 for 13 over his last three games, but when he crossed the plate after going yard, it marked his first run scored in September.

Xander Bogaerts had just one hit Saturday, but it was a big one, as the shortstop drove in four runs in the Red Sox's big win over the Phillies. 

Bogaerts hit a bases-loaded double in the third inning to drive in three runs and he would wind up scoring on an error for a Little League home run. He would then add another RBI on a ground-out in the eighth inning. 

Bogaerts now has 69 RBI on the season, second on the team. 

Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is ready to roll Friday in Colorado. He had been sidelined for four days with a back ailment.

Crawford returns in a slump. He has just two hits in his last 23 at-bats.

Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada has just 10 lifetime home runs. Nine have left the yard. The one that didn't helped his team beat Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

His inside-the-park sprint around the bases in the second inning gave New York a 3-0 lead and jump-started what turned out to be a rout.

Tejada also drove in runs with a single and groundout later in the game.

As expected, Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is again out of the lineup Wednesday night against the host Dodgers with a calf issue.

Bruce Bochy revealed Tuesday that he would be sidelined for at least a couple days.

Crawford is on a 2-for-23 slide. His .263 average is at its lowest point since July 20.

A hamstring pull sustained after hitting a two-run double in the seventh inning Tuesday night at Colorado knocked Diamondbacks third baseman Aaron Hill out the game, per MLB.com. Nick Ahmed replaced him at second base.

Hill was used as a pinch-hitter.

Bruce Bochy has announced that Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford will miss a couple days with a sore calf sustained on a hit-by-pitch, per CSN Bay Area.

Crawford just returned from an oblique injury.

The Angels activated the following players from the disabled list: Collin Cowgill, Taylor Featherston, David Freese, Matt Joyce and Cory Rasmus. Freese will start in Tuesday's contest.
