Crawford is in the lineup at shortstop and batting seventh as the M\u2019s face Angles left-hander Reid Detmers at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.<\/p>\n
You can see the full lineup below, which includes Rob Refnsnyder getting his third start in the leadoff spot.<\/p>\n
Ready for the first of three against the Halos. #TridentsUp<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa Mariners TV Pregame Coverage: 6:30 p.m. \u2014 Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) April 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Crawford made only one rehab appearance with Triple-A Tacoma before his return, going 0 for 4 with a walk on Tuesday. He was presumably set for a second rehab game Wednesday, but the Rainiers\u2019 matchup with El Paso in Tacoma was rained out.<\/p>\n Friday\u2019s game appears to be a pretty nice landing spot for the veteran shortstop. He\u2019s raked against Detmers throughout his career, going 8 for 18 (.444 average) with one homer, one double, seven RBIs and one walk to two strikeouts.<\/p>\n The Mariners reinstated Crawford from the IL Thursday and sent infielder Ryan Bliss to Triple-A in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n The Mariners face the Angles at 7:04 p.m. on Friday. Radio coverage<\/a> can be heard on Seattle Sports 710 AM and the Seattle Sports app starting with the pregame show at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n More on the Seattle Mariners<\/p>\n \u2022 Cal Raleigh: What stands out about this year\u2019s Seattle Mariners<\/a>
