Crews went 3-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Crews got the Nats' rally started in the ninth with a leadoff triple off Ryne Stanek, eventually scoring the tying run on Jose Tena's single. After a slow start to the year, Crews now has hits in nine of his last 10 games -- he's gone 13-for-37 (.351) with a 1.044 OPS in that span. Overall, the 23-year-old outfielder is slashing .214/.241/.357 with three homers, five RBI, 16 runs scored and six steals across 87 plate appearances this season.

Crews went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Crews extended the Nationals' lead to six runs in the sixth inning, when he belted a 429-foot solo homer off Dean Kremer. That home run extended Crews' hitting streak to seven games, and over that span he has gone 9-for-27 with three stolen bases, eight runs scored, three home runs and five RBI.

Crews went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and four runs scored in Saturday's 12-11 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Crews launched his first two home runs of the season, both clearing 400 feet. It was a much needed breakout effort for the 23-year-old, and he has now hit safely in four straight games without striking out. While he's still hitting an uninspiring .177 with two homers, four RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals across 65 plate appearances, Saturday's performance offered a glimpse of his potential to turn things around.

Crews is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Crews finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row against a right-handed pitcher. With the Nationals providing no indication that Crews is dealing with an injury, the consecutive absences from the lineup appear to be a result of poor production to begin the season; he enters Sunday's contest with a .116/.156/.116 slash line and a 37.8 percent strikeout rate in 45 plate appearances. Alex Call, who is swinging a hot bat right now, will get the start in right field Sunday and bat leadoff.

Crews is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Marlins on Saturday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Crews has gone 0-for-7 with one walk and four strikeouts over his last two games. He'll cede his spot in center field to Jacob Young, who will bat in the ninth spot against Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara.

Crews went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Crews posted his best stat line of the season, recording his first multi-hit effort and swiping his second bag of the year. The 23-year-old's average now sits at just .103 with an ugly 1:13 BB:K across 30 plate appearances, but there's still plenty of time for him to turn things around.

Crews is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a much-needed day off for Crews, who is 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts in his first four games this season. Alex Call will start in right field and bat eighth Tuesday while Crews regroups.

Crews went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals led the majors with 223 stolen bases in 2024, and they picked up where they left off to begin 2025, going 3-for-4 on the basepaths as a team. Crews got in on the action in the eighth inning, taking third on the front end of a double steal with Jacob Young. Crews slashed a disappointing .218/.288/.353 over 132 plate appearances in his big-league debut last year, but he swiped 12 bags in 15 attempts and should make an impact in that category over a full campaign.

Crews will start in right field and bat eighth in Thursday's season opener against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Crews spent most of his time in the leadoff spot last season and hit either first or second throughout spring training, so it's a surprise that he's down so low in the batting order for Opening Day. Nationals manager Dave Martinez has all left-handed or switch hitters in the first five spots of his lineup Thursday against righty Zack Wheeler.

Crews went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting second behind CJ Abrams, Crews was busy on the basepaths, swiping his first bag of the spring after drawing a first-inning walk. The 22-year-old outfielder stole 12 bases on 15 attempts in 31 games during his big-league debut in 2024, and there's no reason to think he'll be reined in this season -- the Nationals led the majors in steals (223) and SB attempts (296) last year, and as a team they've already gone 6-for-6 through their first two Grapefruit League contests.
