Abrams went 1-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old shortstop was once again the engine of the Nationals' offense from the leadoff spot, as Abrams took Trevor Rogers deep in the third inning then teamed up with Jacob Young for a double steal in the fifth. Abrams has reached base safely in 15 straight games, and on the season he's slashing .297/.377/.634 with seven homers, six stolen bases, 17 RBI and 21 runs in 25 contests.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old shortstop saw a nine-game hitting streak end on Wednesday, but he wasted no time getting going again. Over his last 14 contests since returning from a minor finger injury, Abrams is slashing .293/.349/.638 with four of his six homers and two of his five steals on the season.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, but the steal was his first since March 30, snapping a 16-game drought on the basepaths. Abrams has hardly been a disappointment so far in 2024, slashing .297/.358/.676 with six homers, four steals, 12 RBI and 15 runs in 18 contests, but after he pilfered 47 bags last year in his first full big-league season, fantasy GMs who invested in him are likely expecting the 23-year-old to be a bit busier as a baserunner.

Abrams went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop led off the bottom of the first inning by launching Ronel Blanco's first pitch of the afternoon over the fence in right field. Abrams is up to six homers on the season, including three in the last five contests, and Saturday's performance extended his hitting streak to seven games -- a stretch in which he's batting .345 (10-for-29) with a stunning .931 SLG, as nine of the hits (four doubles, two triples, three home runs) have gone for extra bases.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
He drove the second big-league pitch of Landon Knack's career over the fence in right-center field, giving the Nats all the offense they would need as Jake Irvin and the bullpen combined for a shutout. Abrams launched a career-high 18 homers in 2023 but is well ahead of that pace to begin this season, slashing .295/.358/.656 with five home runs, three steals, 10 runs and 11 RBI in 15 games.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run batted in Tuesday against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams tagged starter Kyle Harrison for the two-run shot in the third inning, marking the shortstop's third long ball of the 2024 season. While it's still early, Abrams has seen a massive power spike in his third MLB season, with his ISO jumping up from .167 in 2023 to .344 through eight games. He ranks second in home runs at the shortstop position, trailing only Mookie Betts.

Abrams (finger) will participate in baseball drills Monday with the hope of returning to the lineup Tuesday against San Francisco, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams won't be available for Monday's series opener, but if all goes well, his absence should be a relatively short one after suffering a bone bruise of his left pinky finger during Friday's contest. The team should have more information on Abrams' availability after going through baseball activities.

Abrams (finger) remained out of the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third straight game he's missed with a bone bruise of his left pinky finger. Abrams should still be considered day-to-day for the time being. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in again at shortstop Monday and Jacob Young will bat leadoff.

Abrams (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old shortstop was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a bone bruise of his left pinky finger, and he'll sit for the second straight game Sunday. Abrams should be considered day-to-day as Ildemaro Vargas receives a start at shortstop.
