Overview

  • Dylan Crews, the Nationals' rookie outfielder, was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain following an MRI on Wednesday.
  • Crews had been managing soreness in his lower left side and back for about a week, which worsened during a check swing in Tuesday’s game against the Braves.
  • The 23-year-old hit his seventh home run of the season in that game, marking the first time he homered in consecutive games in his major league career.
  • In response to Crews' injury, the Nationals recalled Robert Hassell III from Triple-A Rochester, who was set to make his MLB debut before Wednesday's game was rained out.
  • Manager Dave Martinez expressed concern about the injury, noting its uncertain severity, while Crews aims to recover quickly and return to the field.
