Crawford isn't starting Wednesday's game against Cincinnati, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Crawford had started each of the last five games and went 6-for-19 with three home runs, a double, six runs and five RBI during that time. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Baez isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Baez is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak and has gone 7-for-25 with a home run, a double, three runs and two RBI during that time. Eric Sogard will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Marcano was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

Marcano spent just over a week on the major-league roster and went 4-for-17 with five runs and two RBI during his most recent stint in the big leagues. He'll now return to the minors after Fernando Tatis and Eric Hosmer were reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

Lindor has been struggling at the plate but is showing signs of turning things around following a dreadful start to the campaign. The star shortstop has hit safely in eight of his last 11 games, posting three multi-hit efforts and a .282/.383/.487 slash line across that span.

Edman went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

The switch hitter came into Tuesday just 4-for-32 (.125) over his last seven games, but Edman busted out with a big performance at the top of the order. On the season, he's slashing .274/.328/.366 with two homers, seven steals, eight RBI and 20 runs in 42 contests.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 4-2 win at Cincinnati.

The 34-year-old delivered a solo homer in the seventh inning to provide the Giants an insurance run, and he scored earlier in the contest on Alex Dickerson's three-run shot. Crawford is 13-for-40 (.325 average) with six home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs and an 8:9 BB:K through 13 games in May.

Lindor went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Mondays' 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Lindor swiped his third bag of the year in the top of the seventh inning after reaching base on a free pass. Although he was able to showcase his speed in the victory, he continues to scuffle at the dish, as he's now 9-for-50 with two homers, five RBI and two stolen bases in May (14 games).

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

The shortstop took Adbert Alzolay deep in the third inning, putting the Nats on the board and giving Turner his 10th long ball of the year. He remains one of the hottest hitters in the game in May -- through 15 games, Turner is hitting .365 (23-for-63) with four doubles, four homers, two steals, nine runs and 11 RBI.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 win over the Nationals.

Baez struck out twice but also managed his ninth home run of the season by taking former teammate Jon Lester deep in the sixth inning. The dynamic shortstop got off to a bit of a slow start and recently missed a few games due to back tightness, but he has his OPS up to .809.

Mateo (COVID-19) was activated from the injured list prior to Monday's game against the Rockies.

Mateo was forced to the injured list after being listed as a close contact, but he'll be available Monday after a brief absence. He's 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI through five games in May.
