WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals<\/a> designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe<\/a> for assignment on Thursday and reinstated outfielder Dylan Crews<\/a> from the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n

Lowe, 30, hit a career-worst .216 in 119 games for Washington. He hit 16 homers, including a grand slam on Wednesday, and drove in 68 runs after he was acquired in a trade with the Texas Rangers<\/a> on Dec. 22 for left-hander Robert Garcia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For his career, Lowe is hitting .263 with 105 homers, 397 RBIs and 384 runs scored in 805 games for the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>, Rangers and Nationals.<\/p>\n

Crews, who was in the starting lineup for Thursday’s game, returns after playing in 13 rehab games with Triple-A Rochester. He hit .244 (10 for 41) with two homers and seven RBIs.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Crews was placed on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain on May 21. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on July 22.<\/p>\n

In 45 games this season with the Nationals, Crews is hitting .196 with seven homers, 15 RBIs and 11 steals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 14, 2025, 04:48 PM ET WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":146971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[1266,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-146970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-mlb","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115031070875822832","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
