CJ Abrams' X-Rays Come Back Negative
2 days agoWashington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (hand) had X-rays on his left hand that came back negative in the aftermath of Friday's game against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays. It was a precautionary measure for Abrams, who was hit in the left hand by a pitch in the seventh inning of Friday's clash with the Rays but was able to finish out the contest. There's not much reason to believe he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's meeting in Tampa Bay, but he could receive a rare day off if his hand swells up overnight. The speedy 23-year-old slugger is giving fantasy managers plenty to sink their teeth into in 2024, slashing .278/.334/.498 with 36 extra-base hits, 40 RBI, 48 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases across 324 plate appearances as Washington's franchise centerpiece. With the Nats banged up following Friday's outing, switch-hitting utility man Ildemaro Vargas may be called upon for a spot start but offers limited upside from a fantasy standpoint.
