Pair of hits in loss Crawford went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.
Impact Crawford was one of the few productive hitters for the Mariners, as he was able to reach safely for the third time in the last four games. The brief stretch represents a rare taste of success at the plate in September for the shortstop, who's still slashing just .176/.271/.255 across the 59 plate appearances he's logged during the month. One bright spot is that Crawford has at least shown a penchant for timely hitting in that span, as he's managed to parlay his nine hits into 10 RBI.

Plates two in loss Crawford went 1-for-5 with two RBI in the Mariners' 6-4 loss to the Giants on Thursday. He also struck out three times.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2020 • MLB.COM
Lands on bereavement list Crawford was placed on the bereavement list Friday.
Impact The bereavement list is typically for players dealing with serious family health issues, so Crawford will be away from the team for a few days. Dee Strange-Gordon and Dylan Moore are the likely candidates to see time at shortstop during his absence.

Plates three runs against Giants Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.
Impact Crawford might have produced just one knock at the top of the order, but it was a significant one -- he cleared the bases with a three-RBI double in the top of the second. Crawford has gone seven straight games without a multi-hit effort, though, and he is hitting just .154 with a .659 OPS in that span. Perhaps Tuesday's three-RBI effort could boost his confidence moving forward, as the shortstop has struggled offensively during most of the campaign.

Produces multi-hit game Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double in Saturday's loss against the Angels.
Impact The Mariners mustered only seven hits in 31 at-bats against Angels pitching, and Crawford was the only player who mustered more than one knock. The slick-fielding shortstop is hitting .256 this season, but he has posted an elite .347 on-base percentage while extending his hitting streak to five games.

Productive in doubleheader Crawford went a combined 3-for-7 with a stolen base and three runs in a pair of seven-inning doubleheader games against the Padres on Thursday.
Impact Crawford led off both contests and set his teammates up well in each. The shortstop has now hit safely in five of his last six games, helping his previously plummeting stat line back to .244/.336/.319. While there's naturally still plenty of room for improvement in those numbers, Crawford sported a .282 average and .391 on-base percentage as recently as Aug. 15, so he's certainly capable of continuing his ascent.

Clubs first homer Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
Impact Crawford had fallen ice cold after a hot start, managing just two hits in his last 33 at-bats entering play Tuesday. He drew a walk off Chris Paddack in his first plate appearance and then homered on a Paddack fastball the next inning, Crawford's first long ball of the season. He's still a work in progress at the plate, but the Mariners aren't going anywhere and have nothing to lose by giving Crawford everyday at-bats.

Gets breather Crawford is not starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Impact Crawford will get what appears to be a routine day off following a string of 11 straight starts. Through 25 games this season, the shortstop is hitting .234/.336/.287 with four stolen bases and 15 runs scored. Dylan Moore is covering shortstop in his place Thursday.
