Sean Hjelle was also recalled as Ross Stripling was placed on the 15-day IL and Ryan Walker on the paternity list.
ATLANTA — Stuck in a 1-for-28 slump, Brandon Crawford was out of the Giants lineup Saturday against the Braves, and manager Gabe Kapler said there’s a good chance he gives him another day off Sunday with left-hander Max Fried on the mound.
The pair each received early wake-up calls — 5:15 a.m. PT for Hjelle — but only Hjelle had made it to the ballpark with less than 2 hours until first pitch. While Crawford was short-spoken when asked about his recent struggles after striking out in all three of his at-bats in Friday’s loss, Kapler provided some more insight Saturday, which also explained why back-to-back rest days might be beneficial.
“There’s definitely a snowball effect to having success on the field,” Kapler said. “There’s no question that Casey felt some anxiety and quite a bit of pressure when he wasn’t getting knocks. He goes down to Triple-A, takes a little bit of the pressure off, gets some knocks and there’s no question he’s going to come back up here with a little bit more confidence. There’s no guarantee of success as a result, but I think without question alleviating some of that stress and pressure was important.
