WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
“It kind of grabbed a little bit on the check swing,” said Crews, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 amateur draft. “It’s unfortunate.”
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.
