Crawford was removed from Wednesday's game in Arizona due to right hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford may have tweaked his hamstring on a second-inning groundout, as Paul DeJong took over at shortstop for the Giants before the bottom of the third. This could wind up being a season-ending injury for Crawford even if it proves to be relatively minor, as the Giants only have 10 games left to go and have probably fallen too far back in the NL wild-card standings.

Edman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.

Jose Fermin will start at second base and bat seventh for the Cardinals, who were officially eliminated from postseason contention Tuesday. Edman is slashing .242/.304/.274 in 69 plate appearances since the beginning of September.

Arcia is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies.

Arcia is hitting .172 with one home run and 17 strikeouts in 18 games this month. Nicky Lopez gets the start at shortstop, batting ninth.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Rockies.

The game was scoreless heading into the bottom of the ninth; however, Bogaerts stepped up and launched a two-out, two-run home run to plate Trent Grisham and win the ballgame. Bogaerts has collected multiple hits in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's 11-for-23 (.478) with six runs scored and three RBI while striking out at a 12 percent clip.

De La Cruz is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Twins.

De La Cruz is hitting .161 with zero home runs and six steals in 17 games this month. Noelvi Marte is starting at shortstop while Christian Encarnacion-Strand mans the hot corner.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

Perdomo's second-inning double must have felt good. It was the shortstop's first hit since Sept. 7, a span of 25 at-bats without one. He's on the strong side of a platoon with rookie Jordan Lawlar, both of whom are struggling during September. Perdomo is batting .119 (5-for-42) and Lawlar is at .150 (3-for-20) for the month.

Troy underwent surgery for a fractured foot last week, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.

Troy showed up in the dugout at Chase Field on Tuesday wearing a walking boot on his left foot. The 21-year-old shortstop, who was selected with the 12th overall pick this summer, said he originally hurt the foot in March when he was hit by a pitch but played through the injury. Troy added that stitches are set to be removed in two weeks and expects a full offseason of training. He hit .394/.478/.699 this year at Stanford, then slashed .271/.374/.469 in 27 games between the Arizona Complex League and High-A Hillsboro.

Lawlar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Lawlar has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with zero extra-base hits and eight strikeouts in eight major-league games since being called up Sept. 7 from Triple-A Reno. It appears the talented 21-year-old infielder will be a part-time player for the Diamondbacks down the stretch.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-3 win over the Tigers.

This was Rojas' second homer in his last three games, an unusual bit of power from the light-hitting shortstop. He's been steady at the plate in September, going 16-for-45 (.356) with four extra-base hits and six RBI over 14 contests. The 34-year-old is at a .239/.294/.331 slash line with five homers, 30 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 115 games this season while routinely hitting at or near the bottom of the order.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Monday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

Bogaerts didn't get a chance to go for the home run he needed for the cycle, but he showed off some impressive speed Monday. He stole home and hit his first triple of the season in the contest, which was his fifth multi-hit effort over his last six games. The shortstop is up to a .279/.348/.433 slash line with 18 home runs, 51 RBI, 75 runs scored, 17 steals and 29 doubles through 144 contests. He hit leadoff Monday with Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) out of the lineup -- Bogaerts has primarily hit fifth over the last month.
