Through his first four MLB games, Crawford is batting .333 (4-for-12) with three runs scored. He has yet to swipe a bag, but that should change soon enough if the young outfielder keeps getting on base.
The Phillies selected the contract of OF Justin Crawford.
Fantasy Impact
It was already reported that Crawford had made the Opening Day roster. He will platoon in center field to open the season.
Crawford slashed .277/.320/.383 with two RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases across 50 Grapefruit League plate appearances, earning the nod as Philadelphia's primary center fielder. He swiped 46 bases at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2025.

The Phillies informed Crawford Saturday he will be on the Opening Day roster, though he may face competition for playing time when Johan Rojas returns from an 80-game suspension in late June.
Dave Dombrowski confirmed Tuesday that the Phillies’ plan is to go forward with Justin Crawford in center.
Fantasy Impact
Crawford slashed .334/.411/.452 with 46 steals in Triple-A last season. He will likely enter next year in a platoon in center field with Brandon Marsh and either Otto Kemp or Weston Wilson. "If you're going to give Crawford an opportunity, you've got to give it to him," Dombrowski said. "And that's where we are. We're going to give him an opportunity and have him play a lot."
Phillies OF prospect Justin Crawford is dealing with a minor quad issue.
Fantasy Impact
Crawford was removed from a Triple-A game this week with the injury. He is considered day-to-day for now.
