Brandon Crawford on Giants' bench Thursday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford will not start in Thursday's series opener against right-hander Wil Crowe and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat eighth. Crawford appears to be getting a breather.

numberFire’s models project Dubon for 8.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants have an implied total of 4.4 runs.
