  • CJ Abrams triples, collects RBI in Nats’ victory
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday, leading the Nationals to a 5-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers in a 10-inning marathon.

    Advice: Abrams extended Washington’s early lead with a run-scoring triple in the fifth inning before coming around to score on a sacrifice fly from ensuing batter Lane Thomas. The 23-year-old speedster has been in a bit of a rut offensively over the last few weeks, hitting .203 (25-for-123) with only three homers and two steals over his last 30 games.

  • Witt Jr. doubles, drives in run in loss Monday
    Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI against the Yankees on Monday.

    Advice: Witt Jr. hit a ground ball in the right spot down the third base line, which he turned into a double while driving in a run. Otherwise, it was mostly a quiet night for the Kansas City offense. He now has 48 RBI on the season and remains one of the top options in all of fantasy. Rotoworld Monday, 8:16 pm
     
  • Collects steal No. 10
    Abrams went 1-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: The shortstop came through with one of the big blows in a seven-run fourth inning for the Nationals, smashing a bases-loaded double into the right-field corner, and Abrams then promptly stole third base. The two-bagger was his 12th of the season while the steal was his 10th, and Abrams might be coming out of his prolonged slump -- he's hit safely in four straight games and five of the last six with three extra-base hits (two doubles and a homer), two steals, three runs and five RBI.

  • Abrams has steal, three RBI in win over Braves
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-5 with three RBI and a steal in a win over the Braves.

    Advice: Abrams drove in all three runs on a double off Aaron Bummer in the fourth inning that broke the game wide open for the Nationals. He also had two hard-hit balls that both resulted in outs. The 23-year-old has had a rough go of it over the last month, going 28-for-136 (.206) since the calendar flipped to May with a 35:2 K:BB rate in 33 games. Abrams has a ton of talent with 10 home runs and 10 steals already on the season. He’s also still striking out just 21 percent of the time on the season, so strikeouts haven’t been a major issue. He has pulled the ball far less since April and hit the ball on the ground more often, so perhaps he needs to adjust to the way pitchers have adapted to his hot start. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:17 pm
