WASHINGTON — Dylan Crews has made his major league debut for the Washington Nationals. The 22-year-old started in right field and batted second for Washington against the New York Yankees on Monday night. He was recalled from Triple-A Rochester earlier in the day. Crews was the No. 2 overall pick in last year's amateur draft, just after LSU teammate Paul Skenes. The Nationals hope Crews will help them become contenders in 2025. He joins James Wood and Jacob Young in what could become a dynamic outfield. Crews finished 0 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout in the Nationals' 5-2 loss.
