Overview
- CJ Abrams was placed on the 10-day injured list after aggravating a right hip flexor strain during Friday's game against the Marlins.
- The injury occurred while Abrams was stealing second base in the third inning and led to his removal from the game shortly thereafter.
- An MRI conducted on Saturday assessed the severity of the injury, and the Nationals plan to prioritize rest and treatment for his recovery.
- Manager Dave Martinez expressed optimism about Abrams' recovery, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and treatment before resuming baseball activities.
- In response to Abrams' absence, the Nationals recalled infielder Nasim Nunez from Triple-A Rochester; Nunez made his MLB debut last year and brings speed and defensive skills to the roster.
