Will CJ Abrams play against the Atlanta Braves tonight? Latest update on Washington Nationals star's injury report (May 13, 2025)
As the Washington Nationals get ready to take on the Atlanta Braves tonight at 7:20 p.m. EDT, all eyes are on the electric shortstop, CJ Abrams. Having been elevated from the injured list, the fans are eager to learn whether Abrams will buoy the energy on the offensive side if he does take the field.
The Nationals have struggled to be consistent and could well use Abrams' energy and production atop the lineup. So what's the latest on Abrams' injury and expected performance going into the May 13 contest?
CJ Abrams is back in action after a hip injury
In late April, a strain was felt on his right hip flexor, which caused him to be put on the 10-day injured list. For the Nationals, the positive news was that it was not a serious injury, so Abrams was reinstated on May 11. And since then, he resumed playing and looks quite well.

The team has handled matters with utmost care but with an optimistic outlook, ensuring that the 24-year-old was at full strength before being reinstated to everyday action. Abrams has since then experienced no setbacks and looks fully fit and ready to perform with strong outings in recent days.
Red-hot performance of CJ Abrams since his return
Abrams wasted no time upon reentry into the charset. He had been very consistent through his 16 games, accumulating averages of .379/.446/.515, with multihit plays sealing many of them. Then came May 12, another three-hit day for Abrams in his gaudy offensive streak to help lift the Nationals through a very trying period.
With an OPS climbing toward .900, Abrams is showcasing not only his recovery but a potential breakout season. His ability to get on base and spark rallies has made him a cornerstone of the Nationals' offence in 2025.
Set to start against the Atlanta Braves
Today at Truist Park hosts the all-important showdown with the Braves for one Nationals side that is attempting to stay competitive in the division. Abrams is set to be in the starting lineup and will probably lead off, setting the pace against a gut-wrenching Braves pitching staff. Abrams gives the Nationals both infield stability and explosive base-path potential.
CJ Abrams is healthy and in top form heading into tonight's game. Fans can look forward to seeing the young star take the field and continue his hot streak as the Nationals seek a key road win against their division rivals.
