MLB Rumors: Dylan Crews to Get Nationals Call Up vs. Yankees; No. 3 Overall Prospect

Dylan Crews will be donning a Nationals uniform in 2024.

Grant Paulson of 1067 The Fan reported that Crews is "expected to be called up" for the Nationals game against the New York Yankees on Monday.

Crews is the Nationals top prospect and is the No. 3 overall prospect in MLB. He was the No. 2 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft behind Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.

Crews joins Skenes, Wyatt Langford and Nolan Schanuel as early risers from the 2023 MLB Draft. He is hitting .272/.343/.456 with 13 home runs and 68 RBIs in 99 games between AA and AAA in 2024.

He played collegiately at LSU alongside Skenes and helped lead the Tigers to a College World Series championship in 2023. He won the Golden Spikes Award and was a two-time All-American during his time at LSU.

He joins James Wood as notable Nationals prospects to get the call-up during the 2024 season. Wood is hitting .289/.379/.458 with five home runs and 30 RBIs for Washington in 2024.

The Nationals are 58-70 and sit in fourth place in the NL East. Still, Crews and Wood show a bright future for the franchise and his debut will come against former franchise face Juan Soto.
