Washington Nationals rookie Dylan Crews has been placed on the injured list due to a lower back strain, following an MRI. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves lost their recent game against the Nationals, dropping to a 24-25 record after a rain-shortened series. The Braves' bullpen issues continue to be a concern.
Dylan Crews, the second overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft, has been dealing with back tightness since a diving play last week. His injury comes after a promising start to his major league career, where he recently homered in consecutive games.
