Brandon Crawford doubled home two runs in his first game back from a left oblique strain and the majors-leading San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0JULY 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in action Crawford (oblique) was activated from the injured list as expected Thursday and will bat sixth and play shortstop against the Dodgers.
Impact Crawford didn't wind up needing more than a minimum-length stay on the injured list while he dealt with a mild oblique strain. Prior to suffering the injury, he was in the midst of a career year. He'd never even crossed the .800 OPS mark in his first 10 big-league seasons but owns a .909 OPS thus far this season.
