CJ Abrams Exits Early Tuesday With Left Shoulder Pain
Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (shoulder) exited Tuesday's 8-0 loss to the Mets in Game 2 of a doubleheader early with pain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder after diving for a ground ball. He received an MRI after exiting, per The Washington Post's Jesse Dougherty. The 22-year-old rookie went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. Abrams came into the season as a higher-end fantasy prospect. He hasn't been great but has shown some promising signs with the Padres and Nationals, slashing .246/.280/.324 with two home runs, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases in 302 plate appearances. Speed is his calling card, so Abrams will need to work on his 1.7% walk rate and .280 on-base percentage in 2023 to be considered a viable fantasy option.
