CJ Abrams News
Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Monday, playing shortstop and batting leadoff against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Andre Jackson. Abrams injured his knee on Saturday but missed just one game, so fantasy managers should be returning him to their starting lineups everywhere to begin the week. The 22-year-old has broken out in just his second MLB season and first full year in D.C., as he's hitting .250/.303/.415 with 16 home runs, 22 doubles, five triples, 54 RBI, 41 stolen bases and 72 runs scored in 527 plate appearances and 132 games played. He's gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two homers, a triple, four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored in six starts so far in September.
Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 6-5 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday. Abrams put the Nationals up 5-3 in the top of the seventh inning when took reliever Tommy Kahnle deep for his 14th long ball of the season. It was the 22-year-old's third home run in the last six contests. Abrams has really slowed down in the month of August after putting together an impressive July in which he hit .327/.391/.500 over 98 at-bats. Across 83 games this month, he's slashing just .229/.273./422 but does have four home runs, eight RBI, and four stolen bases. Overall, he's putting together a solid campaign in Washington with a .252/.303/.418 batting line to go along with 14 home runs, 49 RBI, and 33 stolen bases over 433 at-bats.
Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is not in Thursday afternoon's starting lineup versus Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale. The lefty-swinging infielder got the start against another lefty in Boston's James Paxton on Wednesday but went hitless with a stolen base and a strikeout in four trips to the plate. The 22-year-old has dealt with a back injury of late, which could help explain his absence on Thursday, but Abrams is also hitting just .190 with a .596 OPS versus southpaw pitching this season. Overall, Abrams is hitting .253 on the season but has provided a nice combination of power and speed with 11 homers and 31 stolen bases across 112 appearances. Former Red Sox farmhand Jeter Downs will take over at shortstop and hit ninth against Sale Thursday in Washington.
