The Nationals are facing uncertainty with rookie Dylan Crews, who experienced discomfort and is undergoing tests that may lead to an IL stint. In light of this, former top prospect Robert Hassell III has been promoted for his MLB debut. This move reflects the Nationals' confidence in Hassell's recent performance with Rochester, where he has shown improvement. Meanwhile, the Orioles are struggling with an eight-game losing streak, risking their chances to avoid the longest losing streak in MLB this season.
The Nationals are promoting former top prospect Robert Hassell III for his big league debut today after rookie Dylan Crews exited yesterday's game with discomfort in his left side.
Hassell's promotion seems to indicate that the Nationals believe a stint on the injured list is likely for Crews, who has struggled to a .196/.266/.354 slash line in 45 games.
The Orioles are at risk of losing their ninth consecutive game today, which would be the longest losing streak in the majors this year.
Hassell's stock isn't as high as it once was, but he's hitting .288/.337/.405 (99 wRC+) with four homers and a 9-for-10 showing in stolen base attempts through 175 plate appearances with Rochester.
