The Nationals optioned Crowe to their alternate training site Saturday.
After serving as Washington's 29th man in Friday's doubleheader with the Braves, Crowe was predictably sent back to the alternate site when the Nationals reduced their roster to 28 ahead of Saturday's contest. Crowe started the second game of the twin bill, working 2.1 innings and giving up three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in a 10-9 victory, though he didn't factor into the decision.
