The Nationals assigned Crews to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Crews is slated to open the season in the minor leagues, which is a disappointing outcome for fantasy managers who had taken a late-round swing on the talented 24-year-old or had shares of him in Dynasty. Crews has slashed .103/.206/.103 with 11 strikeouts and four walks drawn during spring training. The move leaves Daylen Lile and Joey Wiemer as the Nationals' top right field options.

Crews (thumb) will start in center field and bat sixth in Wednesday's exhibition versus Team Venezuela.
EDGE Analysis
Crews injured his left thumb during live batting practice Saturday, but after three days off to let the bruised digit heal, he's made enough progress to rejoin the Nationals' spring lineup. Through his first four Grapefruit League games, the 24-year-old has gone 1-for-9 with a 1:3 BB:K, two runs and one RBI.

Crews is considered day-to-day after X-rays on his left thumb came back negative, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crews was hit on the thumb by a pitch during live batting practice Saturday and was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins as a result. He'll remain out of the lineup Monday against the Astros but should be back in action in a day or two. Crews has gone 1-for-9 with a 1:3 BB:K in his first four contests during the Grapefruit League.

The Nationals scratched Crews from the lineup for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins due to left thumb soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Christian Franklin was added to the starting nine as a replacement for Crews in right field and as the Nationals' No. 3 batter. Assuming that he isn't dealing with a fracture or ligament damage to his thumb, Crews will likely check back into the lineup within the next few days. The 24-year-old outfielder has gone 1-for-9 with one walk, two runs and one RBI through his first four Grapefruit League contests.

EDGE Analysis

Crews went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old outfielder extended a modest hitting streak to six games as he attempts to close a tough second season in the majors on a high note. Crews sports a .258/.313/.403 slash line through 19 games in September, a step up from his .215/.287/.356 line on the year, and during the final month he's supplied two of his nine homers and three of his 17 steals.

Crews is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crews started the previous eight games and will receive a day off after posting a .749 OPS with two homers during that stretch. Robert Hassell will shift to right field Sunday, allowing Jacob Young to pick up a start in center.

Crews went 3-for-5 with a homer, four RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 15-7 victory at Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The Washington outfielder tied a career high in RBI in this contest, equaling a mark previously set April 19 at Colorado. Crews also collected his eighth long ball of the season -- his first since returning from an oblique injury Aug. 14 -- with a 409-foot, three-run shot off Marlins reliever Josh Simpson in the fifth. Through 255 total plate appearances, the 23-year-old is now slashing .208/.282/.355 with 14 steals, 36 runs scored and 23 RBI.

Crews is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
It's a routine day off for Crews, who is hitting only .210/.310/.306 with no home runs in 19 contests since returning from a long stint on the injured list. Daylen Lile will patrol right field and bat cleanup for the Nationals.

Crews is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, Crews had started in each of the Nationals' ensuing 16 games and slashed .218/.317/.309 with no home runs and three stolen bases. Crews had mustered just four hits in 24 at-bats over his last seven starts, so he'll get a chance to clear his head in the series opener with Miami. With Crews on the bench, Daylen Lile will pick up a start in right field.
