Last month, Crews was called up from the Washington Nationals Double-A affiliate the Harrisburg Senators to the Nationals Triple-A affiliate the Rochester Red Wings. Since joining the Red Wings on June 18, Crews has a .259 batting average with three doubles, two homers and seven RBI. He has only appeared in 12 games so his average will fluctuate a lot early on. He had a .283 batting average until he went 0-for-5 in his game on July 1.

Crews will play one of the outfield positions for the National League in the Futures Game in Arlington, Texas. He will be joined by his Nationals teammate James Wood.

Crews was just called up to Trile-A but if he keeps performing at a high level, we could see him playing for the Washington Nationals soon.

Former LSU baseball star Tre Morgan earns a spot in the All-Star Futures Game

Former LSU first baseman Tre Morgan has been putting on a show in the minor leagues for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Former LSU first baseman [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] has been putting on a show in the minor leagues for the [autotag]Tampa Bay Rays[/autotag]. Back in May, we wrote about how he was being promoted from the Rays Low-A affiliate to the High-A affiliate as he made it one step closer to the MLB.

Since his call-up to the [autotag]Bowling Green Hot Rods[/autotag], Tre has been even better than he was before. In 24 games he has a .363 batting average with 11 doubles, one triple, two homers and 23 RBI. Last month, he finished with a .283 batting average with two doubles, one triple and 10 RBI.

Those numbers have earned him a spot in the [autotag]All-Star Futures Game[/autotag] in Arlington, Texas. Morgan is listed as an inactive selection so he will not participate in the game but the honor still stands. If Tre continues to play as well as he has been he could be called up to play for the Montgomery Biscuits, the Rays AA affiliate.
