Abrams was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Angels due to back spasms, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abrams' injury was enough to keep him from playing Friday, but the team doesn't expect it to lead to an extended absence. Nasim Nunez (cramps) started at shortstop instead and could be in line to do so again if Abrams isn't able to play Saturday.
