Brandon Crawford (calf) and Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) were placed on the 10-day IL but were optimistic that they could return sooner than initially expected.
HOUSTON — One after the other Monday afternoon, Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski stuck their legs in the MRI machine at Minute Maid Park, hoping for the best after having their soft tissue tighten up under the stressful playing conditions in Mexico City.The Giants lost more than just their two games at elevation, but their starting shortstop and center fielder, too.
“It’s like medium-plus when you’re ordering a steak, I guess, not medium and not medium well,” Crawford added. “It’s maybe a little more than a one but not a two. … It feels better than yesterday.” At the time, the Giants essentially were left to choose between Dubón and Thairo Estrada, who was also out of options. Estrada, who entered May with the third-best batting average in the National League , will take on shortstop duties in Crawford’s absence, so expect to see a lot of David Villar at second base.
“Interesting that Dubón is in the other dugout today,” Kapler said, “but he’s a nice comp for how quickly he took to center field and became a good quality center fielder for us.”
