WASHINGTON -- Add a new name to the headliners in the Nationals-Yankees series this week at Nationals Park. Dylan Crews will be making his Major League debut tonight after he was called up Monday morning.

Crews’ arrival to the Nats has been highly anticipated since he was selected out of LSU with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Washington’s highest selection since Bryce Harper (No. 1) in 2010. He’s the Nationals’ No. 1 ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, and No. 3 in all of baseball.

Here are some key questions and answers about the talented 22-year-old outfielder.

What position will Crews play?
Crews will start in right field and bat second for the Nationals, with James Wood in left field and Jacob Young contending for a Gold Glove in center field. Crews had a .929 fielding percentage in eight games in right for Triple-A Rochester this season.

What was the corresponding move?

The Nationals optioned catcher Riley Adams to Triple-A on Sunday.

Who moved in the outfield to make room?
Alex Call, who had been starting in right field since the Lane Thomas trade, was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday because of a partial tear of left plantar fascia. Joey Gallo can play first base and DH, as well as back up in right field.

Why is this happening now?
Crews has been expected to make his debut in 2024 since he was drafted last year. Because this is his first full season in the pros, he first gained experience playing in Double-A and Triple-A. The Nats have gotten Wood acclimated to the Majors for the past two months, and now Crews will join him in a promising, young outfield. It is late enough in the season that, even if he remains in the Majors for the rest of the year, he will retain rookie eligibility for 2025.

Will Crews play every day?
Yes. The remaining games of the 2024 season will be a great opportunity for Crews to see Major League pitching and enhance the chemistry with his teammates for ‘25.

How did Crews get here?
The Nationals selected Crews with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft out of LSU. Crews was a national collegiate champion and the recipient of the 2023 Golden Spikes Award for best amateur baseball player in the United States. He skipped the High-A level last season, participated in Major League Spring Training and played in Double-A and Triple-A this season.

What number will Crews wear?
Crews will wear No. 3. The last player to wear that number on the Nationals was infielder Jeter Downs in 2023.

How many players have debuted for the Nationals this season?
Crews is the eighth prospect to make his Major League debut with the Nationals this season, along with infielder Trey Lipscomb (March 30), infielder Nasim Nuñez (March 30), left-hander Mitchell Parker (April 15), left-hander DJ Herz (June 4), Wood (July 1), infielder Andrés Chaparro (Aug. 13) and right-hander Orlando Ribalta (Aug. 13).
