Nationals’ CJ Abrams day to day with sprained ankle

Arlington, Texas (AP) — Washington Nationals' shortstop CJ Abrams has a sprained left ankle, according to manager Blake Butera. The All-Star player is listed as day to day. Abrams suffered the ankle injury during the Nationals' 6-0 victory over Texas on Wednesday night. Following the game, Abrams mentioned he was experiencing discomfort but believed he could play the next day.

However, his condition worsened the following morning, leading to further treatment. Throughout his five-season major league career, Abrams, 25, has posted a .279 batting average, hit 29 home runs, and driven in 91 RBIs. Notably, he leads all major league shortstops with 19 errors. In response to his injury, Butera recently announced that Abrams will be reassigned from his usual shortstop position to second base.
