CJ Abrams Returns On Sunday
6 months agoWashington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and is batting in his customary leadoff spot on Sunday as he faces the Cleveland Guardians and veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Abrams is back in the starting lineup for the Nats after he jammed his shoulder while diving for a ball on Friday and was scratched on Saturday. It obviously wasn't a serious injury, though, so fantasy managers will want to get the budding 23-year-old superstar back into their lineups in all leagues. However, keep in mind that he has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats with eight strikeouts in his last three games. The former sixth overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2019 is currently hitting .249/.295/.456 with nine homers, 26 RBI, eight steals and 32 runs scored in 53 games. Abrams has gone hitless in five career at-bats against Carrasco.
