Nationals option CJ Abrams to Triple-A
CHICAGO — The Nationals optioned All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
In a corresponding move, infielder Trey Lipscomb was recalled from Rochester.
Abrams, 23, earned his first All-Star selection in a strong first half of the season. Following the break, though, he struggled at the plate, posting a .203/.260/.326 slash line with a .586 OPS and five home runs in 49 games.
Abrams recorded a season-high four hits on Thursday versus the Cubs, but he went 0-for-3 on Friday.
Abrams became a member of the 20-30 club with 20 homers and 31 stolen bases this season. He was the first Nationals player to do so since Alfonso Soriano in 2006.
Last season, the Nationals optioned starting second baseman Luis García Jr. to Triple-A in August to reset. He returned this year with a breakout performance.
