Logs 10th steal Abrams went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Abrams picked up his first steal since May 15 versus Atlanta in this contest. His lack of running in that time has been a a result of his limited opportunities on the basepaths -- the shortstop is hitting just .175 (10-for-57) with three walks and five hit-by-pitches over his last 14 games, and six of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. The 24-year-old is now slashing .273/.346/.486 with 10 steals, eight home runs, 19 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles and two triples through 46 games this season.

Working through late-May slump Abrams went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact It's been a cold stretch at the dish for Abrams, who got just his second hit in his last six games Thursday. The speedy shortstop has gone just 2-for-24 with zero RBI during this span, and he hasn't stolen a base since May 15. The month of May has been kind to Abrams overall, however, as he's batting .277 with 12 extra-base hits, eight RBI, four steals and 21 runs scored through his last 101 at-bats.

Reaches safely four times Abrams went 2-for-3 with a run scored during Wednesday's 5-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Abrams got on base in four of his five plate appearances, tallying a pair of singles and a pair of walks. The 24-year-old shortstop has been exceptional this season, slashing .311/.375/.525 across 137 plate appearances to go along with five home runs, 18 runs, 15 RBI and eight stolen bases.

Lofts leadoff homer Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Impact The shortstop belted the first pitch he saw from Spencer Schwellenbach over the fence in right-center field, giving Abrams the 10th leadoff homer of his career. The blast snapped a 19-game power drought for the 24-year-old, but Abrams has mostly been locked in at the plate since returning from a hip injury in late April. Over his last 18 games, he's slashing .351/.415/.514 with eight extra-base hits, four steals, eight RBI and 11 runs.

2025 MLB power rankings: Phillies, Cardinals and AL Central are heating up

Keeps raking Sunday Abrams went 3-for-4 in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact None of the singles resulted in any runs, as the rest of the Nationals' lineup managed only two hits combined. Abrams has been on a tear since late April, collecting 10 hits in the last four games and slashing .379/.446/.515 over the last 16 contests with seven extra-base hits (five doubles and two triples), four steals, seven RBI and 10 runs. The surge has boosted his OPS on the season to a career-high .897 as the 24-year-old shortstop looks to take another big step forward in his development.

MAY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three more hits Friday Abrams went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact It's the second straight three-hit performance from the shortstop, who has been on fire the last few weeks. Over the last 14 games. Abrams is slashing .368/.446/.509 with four steals, seven RBI and 10 runs, and he's hitting the ball with considerably more authority this season -- after posting an average exit velocity in the 16th percentile (87.4 mph) in 2023 and the 29th percentile (88.2 mph) in 2024, the 24-year-old is sitting in the 72nd percentile (91.1 mph) so far in 2025.

MAY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting busy on basepaths Abrams went 3-for-6 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Guardians.

Impact The shortstop is up to eight steals in 10 attempts on the season, but half of those attempts have come in the last five games. Abrams has also reached base in 13 straight contests, giving him more opportunities to use his legs -- during that hot streak he's batting .340 (18-for-53) with five walks and three HBPs. His power stroke, however, has gone quiet. Abrams has yet to hit a home run since returning from a hip issue in late April, and after slugging a career-high 20 homers in 2024, the 24-year-old has gone yard only twice through his first 25 games in 2025.
