The 31-year-old, who is hitting an impressive .315/.370/.492 with eight homers and two stolen bases in 70 games this season, will immediately slot back in as the team's primary shortstop. Kelby Tomlinson was optioned to the minors in a corresponding roster move.","date":"Thu Jun 21"},"fullName":"Brandon Crawford","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Crawford's on-base skills have been stable the past several seasons. In 2015, he enjoyed a spike in HR/FB, resulting in a career-high 21 homers. In 2016, his BABIP was aided by Lady Luck, as he rendered a career-best .275 average. Last season, his contact, walk and hard-hit rates were in sync with his normal level without the benefit of good fortune. The truth is, he was the same player as in the previous two campaigns, and in this renaissance era of shortstops, Crawford's production is rather pedestrian. He rarely runs, and when he did attempt to steal last season, he was caught more frequently than he succeeded. On the plus side, his glove assures that he will be in the lineup when healthy, which helps in deeper leagues in which at-bats are currency. Mixed leaguers should look for more upside, while NL-only managers should consider Crawford because his cost will reflect his deficiencies.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.8,"playerRater15DAY":1.7,"positionRank":12}
