The Giants reinstated Crawford (knee) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Crawford wasn't expected to be back until Sunday, but the veteran shortstop will return to the Giants' bench a day early while Marco Luciano draws the start Saturday against Boston. It remains to be seen what role Crawford fill with Luciano, who is the Giants' top infield prospect, now up with the big club. Brett Wisely was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
