Crawford, Yastrzemski added to Giants’ 10-day injured list

Two prominent members of the San Francisco Giants have been placed on the team’s 10-day injured list.

Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski will be out of action for the next 10 days with a right calf strain and left hamstring strain, respectively.

Both players suffered their injuries during the team’s weekend series against the San Diego Padres in Mexico City. The Giants went 0-2 in the series.

According to the team, the 36-year-old Crawford left last Saturday’s 16-11 loss with “right calf tightness.” A day later, Yastrzemski exited the Giants’ 6-4 loss early after attempting to field a ball.

“The way Yaz came off the field, obviously, you worry that you might be without him for a month, six weeks or more,” Gabe Kapler said in an update. Especially when it comes to hamstrings, they can be so tricky. So to hear that this might be a really short stint on the IL is really good news.”

#SFGiants roster moves:

• Cal Stevenson and Brett Wisely recalled from Triple-A Sacramento

• IF Brandon Crawford placed on the 10-day IL with a right calf strain (retroactive to April 30)

• OF Mike Yastrzemski placed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain

To replace their starting shortstop and center fielder, the Giants have called up outfielders Brett Wisely and Cal Stevenson from their Triple-A club, the Sacramento River Cats. Stevenson was recently acquired in a trade with the Oakland A’s. Wisely got the start Monday, filling in for Yastrzemski against the Houston Astros.
