Report: Nationals promoting top prospect Crews to majors

The Washington Nationals are promoting top prospect Dylan Crews to the major leagues, sources told The Washington Post's Andrew Golden.

Crews will act as the designated hitter for Triple-A Rochester on Friday then travel to Washington to make his big-league debut against the New York Yankees on Monday, Golden adds.

The 22-year-old outfielder owns a .272/.343/.456 slash line with 13 home runs, 68 RBIs, and 25 steals across two minor-league levels this season. He'll join a Nationals club that also features other budding stars in CJ Abrams and James Wood.

Washington selected Crews with the second pick in the 2023 draft after a stellar career at Louisiana State alongside Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who went first overall in 2023.
