ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) 鈥� Washington鈥檚 CJ Abrams has a sprained left ankle and manager Blake Butera said Thursday the All-Star shortstop is day to day.
Abrams was hurt in the Nationals鈥� 6-0 win at Texas on Wednesday night when he went into second base awkwardly on a ninth-inning double.
鈥淪aw a doctor today and potentially get some imaging,鈥� Butera said. 鈥淎fter the game, he was like, 鈥橸eah, it鈥檚 bothering me, but I think I鈥檒l be good tomorrow.’ Then this morning, I checked in with him, and he was like, it kind of blew up on him. He鈥檚 getting treatment all day.鈥�
At the plate, Abrams, 25, has career highs with a .279 batting average, 29 home runs and 91 RBIs. He leads major league shortstops with 19 errors.
Butera recently announced Abrams would be moved from shortstop, the only position that he鈥檚 played in his five big league seasons, to second base.
