Crawford (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth Tuesday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

He missed a few games with a minor quad injury. Crawford is hitting .185 with three home runs and two steals in 20 games.

Rojas (elbow) will bat second and play shortstop Tuesday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas left Monday's game with an elbow injury, which he appeared to suffer while turning a double play. The issue won't be serious enough for him to miss a start.

Turner (forearm) will lead off and play shortstop Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Turner exited Sunday's game against the Mets after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch. He's good to go following Monday's off day, however, so he'll continue his streak of starting every game so far this season.

Baez (hamstring) will sit for the second straight game and the third time in four days Tuesday against Atlanta.

Baez has been battling hamstring tightness. He was reportedly available off the bench Monday but did not enter the game. Nico Hoerner will make another start at shortstop Tuesday.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Seager's highlight of the night came in the seventh inning, when he crushed a hanging slider from Amir Garrett over the wall in center to tie the game at three and eventually send it into extra innings. Monday was his third consecutive multi-hit performance, a stretch that's boosted his slash line to .275/.359/.495 with four home runs, 14 runs scored and 17 RBI to go along with a 12:18 BB:K.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-7 win over the Cubs.

Atlanta hit Zach Davies hard before chasing the Cubs righty from the game, but Swanson was the only one to take him deep. The 27-year-old shortstop has had a rough start to the season, and despite Monday's performance he's slashing .188/.261/.338 through 22 games with two homers, four runs and six RBI.

Rojas was lifted from Monday's game against Milwaukee due to an elbow injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas appeared to suffer the injury while turning a double play Monday night, and manager Don Mattingly stated after the game that the shortstop may have hyperextended his throwing elbow, per McPherson. Rojas will be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Crawford (quadriceps) will remain on the bench Monday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford was scratched with a tight right quadriceps Saturday against the Marlins and did not play a role in Sunday's contest. He'll sit for at least one more game, with Mauricio Dubon making another start at shortstop. The Giants are hopeful Crawford can return Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Reyes was recalled by the Brewers on Monday and will bat eighth and play third base against the Marlins.

Reyes hit just .229/.295/.368 in 89 games for the Pirates in 2018 and 2019 and did not get into a game last season. However, he's apparently set to play more of a role during his time with Milwaukee -- at least against lefties like Monday's starter for Miami, Trevor Rogers.

Baez is dealing with minor hamstring tightness but is available off the bench Monday against Atlanta, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Baez sits for the second time in three days after feeling something while running the bases during Sunday's game against the Brewers. Nico Hoerner will start at shortstop in his absence, but it doesn't sound as though Baez will be sidelined for an extended period.
