Dylan Crews (hand) is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins.

Nationals skipper Blake Butera told reporters Crews was able to take batting practice and will likely be available off the bench with the expectation that he’ll return to the lineup for Tuesday’s contest. The 24-year-old former top prospect was scratched from Sunday’s lineup with hand soreness after being hit by a pitch earlier in the weekend. Crews has hit just .220 (9-for-41) with one homer, three RBI and one steal in 10 games since being brought back from Triple-A Rochester on May 19.
