Giants put SS Crawford on IL with forearm strain

MLB

ATLANTA — All-Star shortstop Brandon Crawford was put on the 10-day injured list by the San Francisco Giants on Sunday because of a strained left forearm.

San Francisco made the move retroactive to Saturday, when Crawford was held out of a 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

Rookie outfielder Luis Matos was recalled by the Giants from Triple-A Sacramento.

Crawford, 36, is hitting a career-low .194 with six homers and 32 RBIs in 77 games this season. He was an All-Star in 2015, 2018 and 2021.

Matos, 22, is hitting .241 with a .306 on-base percentage, one home run and nine RBIs in 50 games for the Giants this season. He started in left field and hit sixth against the Braves on Sunday.
