The Washington Nationals returned from rehabilitation assignment and reinstated shortstop CJ Abrams from the 10-day Injured List and optioned infielder Trey Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Abrams, 24, was slugging .585 with two doubles and four home runs along with a .244 average, seven RBI, three walks, four stolen bases and six runs scored in 11 games when he was placed on the Injured List on April 12.
Abrams – along with teammate James Wood – is tied for second in Major League Baseball with two leadoff home runs. Washington’s four leadoff homers are tied for the most in Major League Baseball with the New York Yankees.
Lipscomb, 24, appeared in three games in his first Major League stint of the season. He went 2-for-4 with a run scored in his lone start on April 20 at Colorado.
