Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford will DH during Wednesday's spring game against the Athletics because of a sore right shoulder. He is not expected to play in the field until next week.
Crawford said this injury is not serious and he had a similar issue last year. He plans to start throwing again Friday.
Manager Bruce Bochy has talked about giving Crawford more time off in 2015, per SFGate.com.
"He mentioned it last year, especially in the second half," Crawford said. "He said he played me a lot in the first half and in the second half he was going to try to find more days for me to get off. He said we're also trying to get to the playoffs and win the division."
