Abrams was removed from Saturday's Double-A contest after pulling up lame at first base, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams came up limping after being thrown out at first base on a groundout in the fifth inning. He was subsequently removed from the game and is not in the lineup for San Antonio's Sunday contest. The nature of Abrams' issue has yet to be announced, and it is unclear whether he'll be out beyond Sunday. The Padres are likely to proceed with caution given the 20-year-old's vaunted prospect status.

Abrams went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a walk, a run and an RBI in his first game with Double-A San Antonio on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres' lauded prospect impressed in his Double-A debut, collecting four total bases and reaching base three times. After slashing .393/.436/.647 across two levels in 2019, Abrams was stalled by the minor-league shutdown last season. He doesn't appear to have missed a beat, however, and could advance to a regular role in the majors as soon as next season.

Abrams started at second base and went 0-for-2 in Monday's exhibition loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres' top prospect didn't log any time at second base during his lone season in the minors in 2019, but he figures to be considered for a transition to the position given Fernando Tatis' stranglehold on the shortstop job in San Diego well into the future. Abrams is only 20 years old and is likely at least a year away from being ready to stake his claim in the majors, so San Diego has some time to figure out where he'll eventually fit in their loaded lineup.

Abrams will be part of the Padres' 60-man summer camp.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams is the Padres' top prospect for dynasty leagues, but his inclusion in the player pool is for developmental purposes rather than to help the big-league squad in 2020. Perhaps his speed and defense could be an asset in a pinch, but he will likely reach the majors for the first time in 2022 or 2023.

Abrams could be named to the taxi squad under the current MLB proposal for a 2020 season, but he is unlikely to see big-league playing time during the campaign, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Lin, "a couple of staffers have suggested that if any A-ball player could make the jump in an emergency, Abrams might lead the list." However, the prospect's lack of experience -- he has played in only 34 professional games -- makes such a scenario unlikely. Abrams' service-time clock must also be taken into consideration as the 19-year-old was slated to open the season in Low-A ball, making a sudden jump to the majors contrary to the Padres' interests.

Abrams has been playing catch, practicing hitting and performing various workouts during the suspension of play, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres' top prospect has been staying at home in Georgia during MLB's hiatus, but that hasn't stopped him from working on his skills on an everyday basis. Abrams was expected to open the 2020 campaign with Single-A Fort Wayne, though it remains to be seen when -- or if -- a minor-league season will get underway this year.

Abrams has recovered from a bone bruise in his shoulder and was participating in minor-league camp -- including playing games on the back field of the Padres' spring training complex, per Nick Recchia of FriarLounge -- before camp was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams actually made his return to game action in October during the Don Welke Classic, according to Bill Center of FriarWire. The Padres' top prospect missed the end of last season due to the shoulder issue but nonetheless enjoyed a spectacular campaign highlighted by recognition as the MVP of the rookie-level Arizona League.

Abrams (shoulder) was named the MVP of the rookie-level Arizona League, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
He only played in 32 games in the AZL before moving up to Low-A Fort Wayne, but Abrams did enough in those games to take home MVP honors. The 18-year-old hit a ridiculous .401/.442/.662 with three homers and 14 steals in 20 attempts. A bone bruise in his shoulder sidelined Abrams after two games with Fort Wayne and he did not make it back before the end of the TinCaps' season, but Abrams' performance during his first taste of pro ball should have Padres fans excited. Dynasty leaguers should expect to see Abrams go off the board within the first four picks of their first-year player draft.

Abrams is likely to miss two weeks after tests on his shoulder indicated a bone bruise, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Abrams injured his shoulder Wednesday night while diving into a bag and headed to San Diego for tests soon thereafter. The sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft hit .401 in 142 at-bats in rookie ball before he was promoted to Low-A Fort Wayne on Tuesday.
