CJ Abrams homers, walks three times vs. Braves

CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

Player Stats

CJ Abrames went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks on Friday against the Braves.

Abrams’ growth as a hitter this season has been remarkable to watch. His home run was his 28th of the season and RBI his 83rd. Each of those are among the leaders in the National League and career-bests for him by a wide margin with two more months left to play. Yet, to watch the Braves pitchers be much more careful with him following that blast and Abrams to just sit back and take walks in his following two plate appearances was lovely. With three walks in this contest, he also set a new career-high in that stat with 51 games in front of him. He’s fully blossomed into a phenomenal offensive player.

CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with two RBI against the Braves on Saturday.

Abrams hit a two-run single off Braves reliever Danny Young in eighth inning. The 25-year-old shortstop now leads all of baseball with 85 RBI. Abrams is hitting .290 with 28 homers, 69 runs and 19 stolen bases in what’s been a monster fantasy season.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 3-for-5 with two homers and three RBI as the Nationals defeated the Diamondbacks 10-7 on Sunday afternoon.

James Wood also homered twice, giving the Nationals two of the league’s top eight homer leaders. Abrams paces the majors with 82 RBI, and he also ranks inside the top 15 in runs, steals, and batting average. It has been a monstrous breakout season for the shortstop, who finds himself in the middle of trade rumors heading into the August 3 deadline. Washington could simply hold on to him, however, which might be best for his fantasy value as part of the highest-scoring lineup in MLB. The club hasn’t had a 40-homer season since Bryce Harper in 2015, a total both Abrams and Wood could reach by the end of 2026.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI to lead the Nationals to a 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Abrams brought the first runs home for the Nats with a two-run double in the third inning. He then led off the fifth with a solo homer off Mitch Bratt before knocking a base hit and stealing second in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old shortstop is having an incredible season, slashing .293/.364/.557 with 25 homers, 64 runs scored, 79 RBI, and 17 steals across 431 plate appearances.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 4-for-4 with a double and a steal against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Abrams had three hits, all of them homers, in the first two games of the series, and now he has some singles to balance them out. After a down June, he’s opened July with a .356 average, six homers and 16 RBI in 15 games.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 2-for-3 with two homers and four RBI against the Rockies on Tuesday.

Abrams got the scoring started with a two-run blast off Michael Lorenzen in the first inning. He did it again in his next at-bat, taking Lorenzen deep for his second two-run homer. Abrams later drew a walk in the seventh to reach base for a third time. The 25-year-old shortstop is up to 24 homers, 61 runs scored, 76 RBI, and 15 steals while slashing .279/.354/.538 across 418 plate appearances.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams doubled and homered while help the Nationals to a 5-2 win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Abrams also drew a walk. The 25-year-old budding star has homered 21 times in 2026, and the double was his 19th. He’s also driven in 70 RBI over the Nationals’ first 100 games, and there’s a real shot he’ll reach triple digits for the first time in his young career. There’s been some suggestion the Nationals could move Abrams in a blockbuster package, but it seems more likely he’ll continue to contribute in all five categories as a member of the Nats for the foreseeable future.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and two RBI as the Nationals defeated the Astros 8-2 on Wednesday evening.

Abrams’ 20th homer of the year ties a career high, a mark he’ll likely blow past given we haven’t even reached the All-Star break. Washington now has three hitters with 20 homers, tied with the White Sox for the most in the majors. The star shortstop also has 67 RBI this season, tying Yordan Alvarez for the third-most in MLB.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and a stolen base on Monday in a win over the Astros.

Abrams took Houston starter Mike Burrows deep in the third inning for a game-tying homer to match his home run total from last season. He’s now one big fly shy of his previous career-high mark of 20 round-trippers set back in 2024. The 25-year-old speedster also picked up his 15th stolen base of the season in this one. He’s been arguable the most impactful fantasy shortstop this season with 19 homers, 64 RBI and 15 thefts through 88 games.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams is not starting on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

The Red Sox will throw their third left-handed starter in this series, and while Abrams has started the last two, they will give him a day off on Wednesday. Nasim Nunez will slide over to shortstop with Jorbit Vias entering the lineup at second base and batting seventh. Andres Chaparro will also make his third straight start and bat third while Luis Garcia Jr. heads to the bench.
CJ Abrams

WSH Shortstop #5

CJ Abrams launched his 18th home run of the season on Tuesday, leading the Nationals to an 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

Abrams finds himself one round-tripper shy of matching last year’s 144-game total already after taking Red Sox veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle deep in the eighth inning of this one. It was his lone hit in five at-bats. The 25-year-old is the favorite to start at shortstop for the National League in the upcoming All-Star Game after putting together a monster first-half effort.

Cole Wilcox was removed from Thursday’s game against the Tigers due to left oblique tightness.

Wilcox suffered the injury and was pulled in the middle of an at-bat during the seventh inning. Oblique issues are notoriously tricky, so don’t be surprised if it winds up requiring Wilcox to spend a couple of weeks on the injured list.

Spencer Arrighetti (foot) was forced to leave Thursday’s rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo in the third inning due to injury.

Arrighetti has been working his way back from a nerve issue in his foot and it appeared as though he may have aggravated it again during Thursday’s contest. Before exiting he had allowed just two walks over 2 1/3 innings of no-hit baseball with one strikeout. He’ll head for further evaluation. Expect the Jays to have an update on his status before Friday’s game.

Rays activated RHP Steven Wilson from the 60-day injured list; designated him for assignment.

Wilson has been shelved since spring training due to lumbar disc inflammation in his back. He has made nine appearances in the minor leagues as he has rehabbed, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and a 7/4 K/BB ratio over 10 innings of work. If he’s healthy, there should be teams interested in taking a shot on him as he has proven to be a viable bullpen arm at the game’s highest level.

Dingler got the Tigers on the board in the top half of the first inning, clobbering a 2-1 cutter from Bryce Miller for a 401-foot (101.3-mph EV) two-run blast that gave the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish. He also added an RBI single in the third inning and another knock in the seventh. The 27-year-old backstop homered in all three games against the Mariners in Seattle. Dingler is quietly having an MVP-caliber season for the Tigers, slashing .278/.341/.536 with the aforementioned 26 long balls and 78 RBI while playing Gold Glove defense behind the plate.

Framber Valdez delivered an impressive performance in Thursday’s victory over the Mariners, scattering five hits over seven innings of scoreless baseball.

The 32-year-old southpaw punched out five batters on the afternoon while issuing a pair of walks. The Mariners did have some traffic on the basepaths behind him, but Valdez got three double plays turned behind him that helped him to evade damage. He got just four swings and misses on 95 pitches on the day, registering a strong CSW of 33 percent. He’ll try to replicate this fine effort as he brings a 4.17 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 103/45 K/BB ratio (127 1/3 innings) into Thursday’s critical divisional matchup against the Guardians.
