Brandon Crawford is not in Thursday night's lineup against the Rockies, the second time in three nights he is not playing.
This does not appear to be a "rest" thing. Nor are the Giants facing a lefty. Right-hander Jon Gray starts for Colorado. Based on a social media post from his wife, Jalynne, I suspect this might be a family issue.
Tim Federowicz makes his first start with the Giants after Nick Hundley relieved Buster Posey after the beaning Monday and started Tuesday and Wednesday night.
More on Crawford when we get the actual news.
