Shoulder Injury Forces Washington Nationals to Remove CJ Abrams from Starting Lineup

Star shortstop CJ Abrams has been scratched from the Washington Nationals’ starting lineup for their game against the Miami Marlins due to a sore left shoulder. Despite playing through the injury in Thursday’s game, Abrams will sit out, with Nasim Nuñez taking his place at shortstop. Abrams has been a key player for the Nationals this season, ranking second in games played and leading the team in several offensive categories. Although he struggled in the second half of the season, he is still considered a core piece of Washington’s offense moving forward. The Nationals have adjusted their lineup accordingly, with Dylan Crews moving up to leadoff and Nuñez batting ninth. The game is set to start at 6:45 p.m. ET at Nationals Park.
