CJ Abrams yet to begin playing second base for Nationals

CJ Abrams of the Washington Nationals has not yet transitioned to second base following the team's announcement two weeks ago. After dealing with an ankle injury, he has primarily served as a designated hitter. Sources indicate that while Abrams is expected to start at second in a few days, he still remains uneasy about the switch from shortstop. His performance has reportedly declined, hitting below.200 in August after a productive July. This situation has become an ongoing distraction for both Abrams and the Nationals as the season continues.
