flag The Nationals demoted outfielder Dylan Crews to Triple-A after poor spring and major league performance, despite being a top draft pick.

flag The Washington Nationals have optioned outfielder Dylan Crews to Triple-A Rochester to begin the 2026 season, citing poor spring training performance—.103 batting average with a high strikeout rate—and ongoing offensive struggles in the majors. flag Despite being the 2023 No. flag 2 overall pick, Crews’ .211/.282/.352 line in 454 plate appearances and a three-month absence due to injury led to his demotion. flag The move allows the team to start with a mix of younger and veteran outfielders, prioritizing current performance over draft pedigree. flag Crews will use the Triple-A assignment to refine his game, though an extended stay could delay his path to arbitration and free agency.
