    • Abrams scratched again Sunday against Guardians
      CJ Abrams was scratched from Sunday’s lineup against the Guardians due to illness.

      Advice: Never mind. Abrams was scratched Saturday due to illness, and the infielder was back in the lineup Sunday originally only to have the same thing occur. The infielder should be considered day-to-day. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at shortstop in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:54 am

    • Scratched again Sunday
      Abrams (shoulder) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Abrams was penciled in to start at shortstop and bat leadoff but has instead been scratched for the second straight game due to a jammed left shoulder. The 23-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Mets. Ildemaro Vargas will start at shortstop Sunday in place of Abrams. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:49 am

    • CJ Abrams (illness) back in lineup Sunday vs. CLE
      CJ Abrams (illness) is back in the starting lineup and hitting leadoff against the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Abrams was a late scratch from the lineup for Saturday’s tilt with Cleveland because of illness, but it was deemed precautionary, and being inserted into the lineup a day later suggests it was just that. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:07 am

    • Rejoining lineup Sunday
      Abrams (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday against the Guardians, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: The 23-year-old jammed his shoulder on a diving play Friday and was scratched from Saturday's lineup, but he's back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale in Cleveland. Abrams is in a bit of a funk at the plate, as he's gone 0-for-14 with eight strikeouts over his past three contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:55 am

    • Scratched from lineup
      Abrams was scratched from the Nationals' lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Abrams said that he jammed his shoulder while making a diving play during Friday's loss, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, and it seems to be bothering him enough Saturday to warrant a day off. While Abrams recovers, Ildemaro Vargas will take over at shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:30 pm

    • CJ Abrams scratched Saturday with shoulder issue
      CJ Abrams has been scratched from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Guardians due to shoulder soreness.

      Advice: It’s worth noting that Abrams remained in during Friday’s contest after jamming his shoulder attempting to make a play defensively. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the Nationals clearly don’t want to take any chances here and are holding him out for precautionary reasons. The 23-year-old emerging star has been in a rut the last few days, going hitless (0-for-14) with eight strikeouts over his last three games. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:28 pm

    • Preserves win with arm
      De La Cruz went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Fridays 5-4 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: De La Cruz's MLB-leading 32nd steal had no impact on the game, but the shortstop's cannon arm did. His 93.3 mph relay gunned down the potential tying run in the bottom of the ninth inning to preserve Cincinnati's win. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:50 am
       
    • Goes deep again Monday
      Abrams went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's win over Atlanta.

      Advice: The shortstop launched a solo shot off Charlie Morton in the second inning, giving the Nationals an early 5-0 lead. Abrams has gone yard in back-to-back contests to snap a 22-game power drought, but he hasn't crawled out of his May swoon quite yet -- he hasn't stolen a base in 19 straight games, and he's slashing just .221/.237/.338 over that stretch with a 1:18 BB:K.

    • Abrams hits ninth home run Monday
      CJ Abrams went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly against the Braves on Monday.



      Advice: The Nationals scored four runs in the first inning and Abrams’ solo shot in the second inning made the score 5-0. He hit 18 home runs in 151 games last year and is halfway to that mark in only 49 games so far this season. Fantasy managers didn’t draft Abrams for his power, though. While he stole 47 bases last year, he has just eight steals so far this year.
