Brandon Crawford (forearm) back Friday for Giants
San Francisco Giants infielder Brandon Crawford (forearm) is in the lineup on Friday against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
The Giants activated Crawford from the 10-day injured list on Friday after he missed two weeks with a forearm strain. Crawford is replacing Casey Schmitt at shortstop on Friday and hitting eighth.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Giants' implied total is 3.80, fifth-lowest on the board, and the game total is 8.0. Wacha has a middling 4.24 xERA hiding behind a 2.84 ERA this season. His 22.0% strikeout rate is also underwhelming, but Wacha limits hard hits (34.5%).
