WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 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<\/a> in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of grabbed a little bit on the check swing<\/a>,\u201d said Crews, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 amateur draft. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a little bit concerned,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cBecause it is that one gray area that could be a multitude of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Crews is batting .196 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs.<\/p>\n
