  • Productive in big win
    Abrams went 1-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: The 23-year-old shortstop was once again the engine of the Nationals' offense from the leadoff spot, as Abrams took Trevor Rogers deep in the third inning then teamed up with Jacob Young for a double steal in the fifth. Abrams has reached base safely in 15 straight games, and on the season he's slashing .297/.377/.634 with seven homers, six stolen bases, 17 RBI and 21 runs in 25 contests.

  • CJ Abrams blasts two-run homer in win versus MIA
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in a 7-2 win against the Marlins on Monday.

    Advice: The 23-year-old continues to have a solid season slashing .300/.381/.640 with seven home runs and 16 RBI. His two-run home run came in the third inning as Trevor Rogers left a fastball right down the center of the plate and Abrams did not miss. There was a lot of discussion if Abrams’ 2023 season was a bit of beginner’s luck, but the Nats’ shortstop is showing that last season was not a one-off. Rotoworld Monday, 6:06 pm

  • J.P. Crawford (oblique) taking grounders Monday
    J.P. Crawford (oblique) is taking grounders before Monday’s game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Crawford is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with his oblique injury, but it’s a positive development that the 29-year-old is taking part in infield practice before Monday’s game. It’s very likely that Crawford will need a rehab assignment before returning to the Seattle lineup late in May. Rotoworld Monday, 3:25 pm

  • Already feeling better
    Crawford (oblique) was able to field some grounders and do light jogging in the outfield before Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The activity is significant, considering Crawford was just diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain Wednesday. Crawford is still expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, but he noted he was feeling much better Sunday than a few days prior, when he'd found it painful to even cough or make general movements.

  • Swats second homer
    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Seager, who was not in the original starting lineup for Saturday's game, was a late addition. The home run was his second of the season. Seager's off to a slow start, slashing .247/.336/.330 over 110 plate appearances, which is perhaps disappointing from a player that finished second in AL MVP voting last season. However, it's also understandable when considering Seager underwent offseason hernia surgery and missed all but the final week of spring training. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:03 am

  • Corey Seager swats second homer on Saturday
    Corey Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Seager was originally scheduled to get the day off on Saturday, but was a late addition to the lineup. On his 30th birthday, he swatted a solo homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season. Seager has been off to a relatively cold start, hitting .247/.336/.330 with the two homers, 12 runs scored, and seven RBI across 110 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:57 pm

  • Will play after all
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager will start at shortstop for Saturday's game against the Reds, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Seager left Wednesday's game against the Mariners after taking a pitch off his shin, and he played one game at DH before returning to shortstop in the series opener against the Reds on Friday. Seager was initially set to take Saturday off, but Bochy has reinserted the 30-year-old back into the starting lineup. With Seager at shortstop, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Ezequiel Duran will move to the bench. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:05 am

  • Corey Seager a late addition to Saturday’s lineup
    Corey Seager has been added to the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

    Advice: It appears Seager was able to talk his way onto manager Bruce Bochy’s lineup card after he was originally slated to sit out Saturday’s showdown against the Reds. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart appears to be doing just fine after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:57 am

  • Corey Seager getting day off Saturday vs. Reds
    Corey Seager and Adolis García are not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for both Seager and Garcìa with Josh Smith at shortstop and Travis Jankowski taking over in right field. The 30-year-old superstar shortstop could probably use a day off after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. The dynamic duo should return for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:29 am
