Nationals' CJ Abrams: Steals base in loss
Abrams went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Abrams is still scuffling at the plate, having gone just 4-for-40 (.100) over his last 10 games, though he has two steals and two RBI in that span. The infielder is hitting .265 with an .837 OPS, 28 steals, 29 home runs, 94 RBI, 83 runs scored, 26 doubles and three triples over 135 contests. If he can find his swing again soon, he has plenty of time to secure the first 30-30 season of his career.

He got the Nationals on the board early in the second inning with a two-run single before being brought home later in the frame on a Brady House double.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Back in action Tuesday
Abrams (back) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday against Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Abrams was scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener due to back tightness, but it was apparently a minor concern since he's back in the starting nine a day later. The 25-year-old was struggling at the plate to finish August, batting .106 (5-for-47) with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 12 games.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Scratched from Monday's lineup
Abrams has been taken out of Monday's starting nine against Miami due to back tightness, per Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic.
The 25-year-old played in seven straight games after missing a few with an ankle injury, with five of Abrams' seven starts coming at designated hitter over that span. Nasim Nunez will replace Abrams at shortstop and bat eighth.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Starting at second base
Abrams is starting at second base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Manager Blake Butera announced a couple weeks ago that Abrams would shift from shortstop to second base, but the 25-year-old suffered an ankle sprain shortly thereafter which has mostly limited him to serving as the designated hitter. He's struggled at the plate since missing four games due to the ankle issue, going 2-for-24 with three walks, a double, two steals and nine strikeouts in six contests. Abrams is now shifting to his new position, with this being his first appearance at second base since 2022 as a member of the Padres.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Returning to Washington lineup
Abrams (ankle) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Rockies.
Abrams missed the last four contests while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but he's feeling well enough to at least hit in Monday's series opener. When Abrams does return to playing a position, he's expected to serve as the Nationals' primary second baseman down the stretch.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Remaining out Sunday
Abrams (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Abrams will miss out on a fourth straight start after he sprained his left ankle late in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Rangers. The 25-year-old should continue to be considered day-to-day for now, but a stint on the injured list could be considered if he misses more time. Jose Tena will pick up another start at second base for the Nationals Sunday.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Sitting third straight
Abrams (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Abrams hasn't played since he injured his left ankle during the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against Texas. His absence will continue into Saturday, and although the Nationals haven't indicated the 25-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list, he may need to do so if he isn't able to return to action soon. Nasim Nunez will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Held out of lineup again Friday
Abrams (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Likely to sit again Friday due to ankle
X-rays on Abrams' left ankle came back negative Thursday, but manager Blake Butera said Abrams will likely need to sit again Friday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Butera said Abrams will hopefully be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins after he initially injured his ankle in the ninth inning of Wednesday's contest. With Abrams out Thursday against the Rangers, Jose Tena made the start at second base and hit cleanup for the Nationals. He went 0-for-3 with a trio of strikeouts and one walk in the 2-0 loss.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Exiting starting nine

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Making move to second base
Nationals manager Blake Butera revealed Friday that Abrams will be the team's primary second baseman moving forward, with Nasim Nunez shifting to shortstop, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Abrams remains at shortstop for Friday's game against the Mets, and he will still see occasional starts at the position. However, his main spot on the diamond will be second base, a position he hasn't played since 2022 with the Padres. The alignment should improve the Nationals' middle-infield defense, as Abrams has long been a poor defender at shortstop, while Nunez is considered an above-average fielder. Additionally, several of the team's top prospects are shortstops, so an eventual shift to the keystone for Abrams felt inevitable.
