CJ Abrams’ season is effectively over after the Washington Nationals optioned the infielder to Triple-A, a team source told The Athletic.
Abrams was the Nationals’ lone All-Star representative but has had a lackluster second half. He had a .831 OPS with 15 homers and 15 steals at the All-Star break. Entering Saturday, he’s hit .203 with a .586 OPS since.
