Kelly Nash has words of praise for Jalynne Crawford as she announces husband Brandon Crawford's MLB return on Instagram

Brandon Crawford had a two-hit night against the San Diego Padres after being recalled on Friday following his third stay on the injured list this year. After that, they went 0-2 in Sunday's defeat at the plate.

The veteran shortstop is in the final year of a two-year, $32 million contract he signed with the Giants before the 2022 season. However, his hitting average has dropped to .198.

After a successful 2021 year in which San Francisco won 107 games, a franchise record, thanks mainly to his career-high 24 home runs, Crawford signed his current contract. Upon his return, his wife, Jalynne Crawford, took to Instagram to upload an appreciation post for him.

Jalynne later received a love message on Instagram from Kelly Nash in honor of her husband's upcoming MLB comeback. Nash hosts MLB Network's Quick Pitch and Rundown.

She wrote, "Blessing, you're so supportive."

The 36-year-old has previously stated his desire to hang up his Giants uniform. The timing of that day, though, is still not confirmed; he said on Sunday that he will finally decide with his family.
