Dylan Crews went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.Crews was a pest all night and came around to score on a homer by Joey Gallo in the eighth inning.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: Records steal in loss
Dylan Crews went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-0 loss to the Mets.Crews was hitless for the third time in five games but still swiped a bag after getting aboard on a fielder's choice in the first inning. His speed has translated quickly at the major-league level with nine thefts on 11 attempts over his first 21 games. The bat hasn't been quite as good -- he's hitting .232 and slugging .390 with three home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles while seeing plenty of playing time in right field. It's also encouraging he was back to second in the order after finding success with a 3-for-4 performance batting seventh in Tuesday's contest.

Dylan Crews went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.Crews picked up a pair of hits, an RBI and a steal before the second inning was done Thursday against the Washington Nationals. After a streak of three straight games without a hit, Crews now has multi-hit games in back-to-back days. While his slash line of .241/.308/.448 leaves room for improvement, Crews has racked up three homers, eight RBI, six steals and seven runs in his first 15 games since being promoted in late August. It's a small sample size, but Crews has started in every game since his promotion and should continue to see regular playing time down the stretch.

The 22-year-old has all the makings of a future star after slashing .265/.340/.455 with eight homers and 10 steals across 238 plate appearances at Triple-A Rochester.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: On track for 2024 debut
Dylan Crews seems likely to make his big-league debut before the end of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.Moved up to Triple-A Rochester on June 17, Crews hasn't exactly dominated the highest level of the minors yet, slashing .253/.306/.407 through 20 games with three homers, five steals and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate that's actually an improvement on his 23.8 percent mark at Double-A Harrisburg. The second overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft has flashed his upside though, and the Washington Nationals are likely to want him to get his feet wet in the majors in September ahead of a probable starting job in 2025. Should Lane Thomas be shipped out at the trade deadline, it could open up a spot in the big-league outfield for Crews by early August, but the team may also want to keep his rookie status intact for next year in the hopes he earns the Nationals a bonus draft pick.

The Washington Nationals promoted Dylan Crews from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.Crews missed a week and a half of action with a hamstring injury and was sitting on a .664 OPS at the end of April, but he picked up the pace thereafter to earn his way to Rochester. From May 1 onward, the 22-year-old outfielder slashed .292/.359/.474 while contributing three home runs and 13 stolen bases and striking out at an acceptable 19.2 percent rate. In Rochester, he'll be part of an outfield that will soon include another elite prospect in James Wood (hamstring), who is expected to begin a rehab assignment with one of the Nationals' lower-level affiliates this week before returning from the 7-day injured list.
