Dylan Crews Scratched from Lineup Due to Left Thumb Soreness

Nationals OF Dylan Crews was scratched from Sunday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Marlins due to left thumb soreness. Christian Franklin replaced him in right field and batting third. The team anticipates Crews will return to the spring lineup within days, assuming the soreness isn't indicative of a more serious injury like a fracture or ligament damage. The 24-year-old has gone 1-for-9 with one walk, two runs, and one RBI in his first four Grapefruit League contests.
