    • Stays hot in Monday's win
      Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

      Advice: Crawford provided one of two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners on the afternoon while hitting safely for the sixth time in the last seven starts. The veteran shortstop has been clicking at the plate since his return an IL stay from an oblique injury, producing a .296 average and .848 OPS across his last 30 plate appearances despite a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in the same span.

    • Provides only offense in loss
      Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

      Advice: Crawford led off the contest with a 399-foot shot to center field, and that would ironically be the only run-producing offense of the night for Seattle. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in all four starts he's drawn since coming off the injured list, but his homer was his first since April 8. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:35 am
       
    • J.P. Crawford homers in loss
      J.P. Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday in a loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Crawford’s lead-off homer was the extent of the Mariners’ offense on Friday night as they were shut down by MacKenzie Gore. The homer was just his third of the season and every passing day makes the 19 home runs he hit last season look like a mirage. Rotoworld Friday, 6:10 pm
       
    • Records two hits in return
      Swanson (knee) went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3, extra-inning win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Swanson was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday night and he made his return to the lineup Tuesday after missing two weeks. The shortstop hit the ground running against his former team, though he's been off to a slow start overall with just a .218 batting average across 38 games. Swanson should still see regular playing time moving forward despite his struggles, and he's talented enough to heat up in a hurry. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:10 pm
       
    • J.P. Crawford returns to M’s lineup on Tuesday
      J.P. Crawford is leading off on Tuesday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Crawford is back at shortstop and leading off on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium after sitting out Monday’s series opener following his activation for the injured list. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:08 pm
       
    • In-game replacement in IL return
      Crawford (oblique), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, entered Monday's win over the Yankees as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the game at shortstop, going 0-for-2.

      Advice: Crawford struck out swinging in his pinch-hit appearance and subsequently flied out to center to close out the ninth. The veteran shortstop was logging his first game action since April 23, and given his in-game appearance and ability to play defense Monday, he's a likely candidate to return to the starting nine Tuesday.

    • Officially activated
      Swanson (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday night, per MLB's transaction log.

      Advice: Swanson was expected to be activated prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, and the team has elected to make the move official a bit earlier than anticipated despite not having a game Monday. Miles Mastrobuoni and Pete Crow-Armstrong were optioned to Triple-A Iowa in corresponding moves, making room for the upcoming promotion of Luis Vazquez. Rotowire.com May 20, 5:06 pm
       
    • Cubs activated Dansby Swanson from I.L.
      Cubs activated SS Dansby Swanson from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: The Cubs don’t play today, so it’s kind of surprising that the move is coming now. However, MLB.com’s transactions page says it’s official. Still unofficial is the Luis Vazquez callup, which is expected to happen before the game Tuesday. Swanson should start at shortstop Tuesday after missing two weeks with a sprained knee.

    • J.P. Crawford (oblique) activated by Mariners
      Mariners activated SS J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Crawford’s pregame workout today was impressive enough to get him back on the roster tonight after his absence due to an oblique strain and a subsequent bruised hand, but he won’t return to the starting lineup until tomorrow. Dylan Moore will return to his utility role then after spending the last 3 1/2 weeks as a starting shortstop. Rotoworld May 20, 3:47 pm
