Fantasy Impact:
Crawford's injury opens the door for a couple of rookies with interesting appeal. Micah Johnson was called up and could provide an impact in the stolen base department. Trayce Thompson is a power speed option who could see some extra at bats while Crawford is on the DL. Neither should be seen as long term options but could provide good value and DFS play.
