Paolo Espino - Sent back to RochesterWashington optioned Espino to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Trent Grisham - Nabs another stealGrisham went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to the Nationals.
ImpactGrisham scored San Diego's first run in the fifth inning, reaching first base on a fielder's choice, stealing second and crossing the plate on a Fernando Tatis single. However, Grisham was removed for pinch hitter Gary Sanchez in the bottom of the sixth with two outs and the bases loaded. Washington had brought in southpaw Joe La Sora for that critical moment, and manager Bob Melvin preferred the strikeout-prone Sanchez (who, indeed, struck out) to the lefty Grisham. That was a curious decision given that Grisham has hit lefties well this season, batting .286 with as many homers (three) in 63 at-bats as he has against right-handers in 174 at-bats.

CJ Abrams - Swipes eighth bagAbrams went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Padres.
ImpactThe 22-year-old shortstop wrapped up a three-game series against San Diego, the team that drafted him in the first round in 2019, having gone 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles. Abrams is picking up the pace as the All-Star break approaches, but on the season he still carries a lackluster .235/.279/.395 slash line with seven homers, eight steals, 28 runs and 33 RBI in 70 games.
