The Washington Nationals designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment on Thursday in the midst of his disappointing season.
The move was made as Washington activated outfielder Dylan Crews (left oblique strain) from the 60-day injured list. Crews is batting second and playing right field in Thursday night's home game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Lowe was batting just .216 but was second on the Nationals with 68 RBIs and tied for second with 16 homers. He has struck out 130 times.
Lowe was acquired from the Texas Rangers in the offseason for left-hander Robert Garcia.
The 30-year-old Lowe spent four seasons (2021-24) with the Rangers and was a key player on their 2023 World Series championship team. He was a Silver Slugger winner in 2022 when he established career bests of 27 homers and a .302 batting average.
Lowe also played two seasons (2019-20) for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has a .263 average with 105 homers and 397 RBIs in 805 career games.
Crews is batting .196 with seven homers, 15 RBIs and 11 steals in 45 games. He last played for the Nationals on May 20.
Crews, 23, was the second overall pick in the 2023 draft. He is batting .206 with 10 homers, 23 RBIs and 23 steals in 76 major league games.
