WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥 Washington Nationals rookie outfielder Dylan Crews will get an MRI on his sore lower left side and back after leaving Tuesday night’s 5-3 win over Atlanta in the sixth inning.
Crews, who will have the MRI on Wednesday, said he aggravated the injury swinging during a fifth-inning at-bat that resulted in a walk.
鈥淚t kind of grabbed a little bit ,鈥 said Crews, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 amateur draft. 鈥淚t鈥檚 unfortunate.鈥

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Crews had been dealing with tightness in his lower left back and side since a diving play in Washington’s previous series against the Braves in Atlanta last week.
鈥淚 am a little bit concerned,鈥 Martinez said. 鈥淏ecause it is that one gray area that could be a multitude of things.鈥
Before leaving the game, Crews hit what proved to be the game’s decisive solo home run in the second inning off Braves ace Spencer Strider.
It was Crews’ seventh homer of the season, and marked his first time homering in consecutive games after his three-run shot Sunday helped Washington to a 10-4 win at Baltimore.
The 23-year-old Crews is batting .196 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs.
