WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals rookie outfielder Dylan Crews will get an MRI on his sore lower left side and back after leaving Tuesday night's 5-3 win over Atlanta in the sixth inning.
Crews, who will have the MRI on Wednesday, said he aggravated the injury swinging during a fifth-inning at-bat that resulted in a walk.

'It kind of grabbed a little bit on the check swing,' said Crews, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 amateur draft. 'It's unfortunate.'
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Crews had been dealing with tightness in his lower left back and side since a diving play in Washington's previous series against the Braves in Atlanta last week.
'I am a little bit concerned,' Martinez said. 'Because it is that one gray area that could be a multitude of things.'
Before leaving the game, Crews hit what proved to be the game's decisive solo home run in the second inning off Braves ace Spencer Strider.
It was Crews' seventh homer of the season, and marked his first time homering in consecutive games after his three-run shot Sunday helped Washington to a 10-4 win at Baltimore.
The 23-year-old Crews is batting .196 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs.

Orioles Announce Ryan Mountcastle Injury Update
Orioles Announce Ryan Mountcastle Injury Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles are preparing to be without first baseman Ryan Mountcastle for the forseeable future. Interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Wednesday that Mountcastle, who recently underwent an MRI on his right hamstring, will be sidelined "a while," per Roch Kubatko of While the team has not provided an official timetable, the phrasing suggests Mountcastle could be out indefinitely as he recovers from the strain. Advertisement Mountcastle was placed on the injured list earlier this week, prompting Baltimore to recall Coby Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk.

Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Mayo now appears to have a clear path to regular at-bats, either at first base or as the designated hitter. Ryan O'Hearn, who has split time between the outfield and first, is also expected to handle more duties at the cold corner while Mountcastle is sidelined. The 27-year-old slugger has been a steady contributor in the heart of the Orioles lineup. Mountcastle is slashing .264/.319/.420 with 10 home runs and 34 RBIs across 58 games. His absence creates a void in both offensive production and experience, as the Orioles turn to younger options. Advertisement Mountcastle is the 12th player the Orioles currently have on the IL. Outfielder Cedric Mullins landed on IL just hours before Mountcastle exited with right hamstring discomfort.
