CJ Abrams News: Receiving rare day off

Updated on July 6, 2025 at 3:50pm

Abrams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

With the Nationals and Red Sox wrapping up their series with a day game and Garrett Crochet on the bump for Boston, Washington skipper Dave Martinez viewed Sunday as an optimal time to give Abrams a day off. Paul DeJong will fill in at shortstop while Abrams exits the starting nine for the first time since June 8.
