Abrams went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
After going hitless in his return from the IL on Thursday, Abrams led off the ninth inning with a triple that just eluded right fielder Juan Soto at the wall, sparking a two-run, walk-off rally by the Nats. While Abrams' .240 batting average (12-for-50) on the season isn't anything special, he's a perfect 5-for-5 on the basepaths and has been scalding the ball when he's made contact, with seven of his 12 hits going for extra bases (two double, a triple, four homers).

Abrams went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Activated off the IL earlier in the day after recovering from a hip strain, Abrams was back in his usual leadoff spot in his return. The 24-year-old shortstop has racked up counting stats to begin the season with four homers, four steals, six runs and seven RBI through just 12 games, but his .222/.265/.533 slash line reflects his career-worst 26.0 percent strikeout rate so far.

The Nationals reinstated Abrams (hip) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams has been on the injured list since April 12 after straining right his hip flexor while attempting to steal a base. He has since played two rehab games at Double-A Harrisburg, during which he went 0-for-4 with two walks and a sacrifice fly. He'll reclaim his role as Washington's everyday shortstop now that he's healthy, and Trey Lipscomb will head back to Triple-A to free up a roster spot.

Abrams (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the Nationals want him to play at least one rehab game first. Barring any setbacks, Abrams should rejoin the Nats' active roster later this week. He's been out since mid-April with a right hip flexor strain.

Abrams (hip) did some running on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams has also hit in the batting cage and is "definitely making good progress," per Nationals manager Dave Martinez. There is optimism Abrams will be ready for activation when first eligible April 22, but he'll first need to show he can make lateral movements at shortstop without discomfort in his right hip.

The Nationals placed Abrams on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hip flexor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams missed two games earlier in the week due to a right hip issue, and he aggravated the injury while stealing second base against the Marlins on Friday. He was evaluated by Nationals' medical staff Saturday, and it was determined that the severity of the injury warranted his placement on the injured list, though manager Davey Martinez appeared optimistic that Abrams won't need more than the minimum stint on the IL, per Bobby Blanco of MASN Sports. In Abrams' absence, the Nationals could turn to Paul DeJong to slide over from third base to shortstop, which would give Jose Tena and Amed Rosario more opportunities to get some starts at the hot corner. Nasim Nunez was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could see some reps in the infield due to Abrams' absence.

Abrams aggravated his right hip flexor while stealing second base and fielding a grounder in the third inning of Friday's game against the Marlins, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams is set to be re-evaluated by the Nationals' medical staff Saturday, at which point we'll know more about the severity of his injury and how much time, if any, he'll miss. The 24-year-old sat out Monday and Tuesday due to problems with his hip, and Washington may err on the side of caution this early in the season if the results of his tests are less than favorable.

Abrams was pulled from Friday's game against Miami due to an apparent injury, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not immediately clear what kind of injury Abrams is dealing with, though it may have something to do with the hip/thigh injury that held him out of two games earlier in the week. If the All-Star shortstop ends up needing to miss more time, Amed Rosario and Jose Tena would be candidates for additional starts in the infield.

Abrams went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams drove a high fastball by Landon Knack into right field and out of the yard to put the Nationals on the board in the first inning. The speedy shortstop has gone deep in four of his last seven outings, during which he's batting .296 with two doubles, six RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases over 27 at-bats.
