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.

Windies frustrated after inconsistent decisions in 1st WI vs AUS Test, what happened?
The first Test between the West Indies and Australia in Bridgetown, Barbados, has sparked considerable controversy regarding umpiring decisions. Two days into the game, there have already been five decisions that have raised eyebrows. Incident 1: Travis Head survives On Day 1 of the Test match, Travis Head edged one of Shamar Joseph and Shai Hope behind the stumps, have claimed to take the catch. However, as the decision was sent upstairs and Adrian Holdstock, who is the third umpire for the game, decided it was not out, citing a lack of clear evidence if the catch from Hope was taken cleanly. Incident 2: West Indian skipper gets lucky In the first over of Day 2, a delivery from Josh Hazlewood to Roston Chase appeared to hit the pad first, which the Australians appealed for an LBW shout. And once given, not out on the field, it was sent upstairs, and there would be a small spike as the ball passes the front pad and then takes the edge of the bat, the Australian would celebrate; however, to their dismay, Holdstock asks for onfield umpires to stay with their decision of not out Incident 3: West Indian skipper gets unlucky Australian skipper Pat Cummins appeals for an LBW, and this time, on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough raised his finger. Chase has a glance at his inside edge and sends the decision upstairs. While there was no spike on Ultraedge, the ball seemed to have deflected when close to the bat. However, Holdstock deemed as there was clear gap between bat and ball and judged Chase LBW. Incident 4: Role and fate reversal for Hope This time it would be Shai hope who edged Beau Webster's delivery and Alex Carey makes a stunning attempt diving to his left. Kettleborough not convinced with the catch sends it upstairs and although there was evidence of ball brushing the ground before reaching the hands of Carey Holdstock surpringlsy gives it out. Incident 5: Fortune favours Green A delivery from Justin Greaves to Green was sent upstairs for review by by Chase after on-field umpire Nitin Menon gave it not out for LBW. Compared to the other decisions made this was rather a difficult one but yet ended up controversial. There was an edge from Green however, it was unclear if the ball has brushed the pad before and Holdstock declared it was not out. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc: 'There's been some interesting ones. A couple more (DRS calls) have gone against the West Indies than us. As players, you can only ask a question, we don't use the technology to make the decision. It's a grey area so it comes down to the perception of the officials.' West Indian head coach Darren Sammy: 'I just had a chat with the match referee trying to find some understanding of what the process is. We only hope for consistency in the decision making. When there's doubt in something, just be consistent across the board. From the images that we're seeing, the decisions are not fair enough for both teams. I've asked the match referee for a sit down. We're all humans, mistakes will be made, I just want fairness.' Reactions on commentary Ian Bishop: 'Officiating is low-hanging fruit. What needs to happen here, when I put my emotions aside, the umpires perhaps need, and they probably do have a meeting after the day's play, they will review these decisions and I think we may get better interpretations … you have to get that going forward. I think they would probably have learned a few things [by] looking at that.' Carlos Brathwaite: 'There are not many fans of [third umpire] Adrian Holdstock in the West Indies at the moment,' Samuel Badree: 'It's unfortunate, it really is unfortunate. It feels as though everything has gone against the West Indians.' Greg Blewett: 'I felt like the third umpire had some really tough decisions to make. A lot of them weren't really clear decisions; it was down to a bit of interpretations. I think Australia got on the right end of the decisions.'

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reveals why Justin Tucker is quietly accepting 10-game ban
Why Justin Tucker is serving a 10-game ban without appeal-Ian Rapaport explains the strategic move (Image credits: IG/X) Justin Tucker isn't fighting his suspension—but don't mistake that for surrender. In a calculated move that's caught NFL insiders' attention, the veteran kicker is accepting a 10-game ban without appeal, even as he denies serious misconduct allegations. With his NFL future uncertain and no team currently under contract, Tucker is playing the long game. This decision isn't just about damage control—it's a strategic pivot aimed at salvaging his career. Serving time without a team: Tucker's tactical choice NFL Network's Ian Rapoport broke down why Tucker isn't challenging the suspension despite maintaining his innocence. 'So, no appeal for Justin Tucker because he is not employed by a team,' Rapoport said, emphasizing the unique context. 'He can work out, can theoretically practice with a team… but cannot play in an actual game until after the ten weeks are over.' This allows Tucker to quietly serve the suspension now and return eligible—ready for a midseason team in need. A quiet deal between Tucker, NFLPA, and league The NFL chose not to hold a formal disciplinary hearing, instead resolving the matter through a confidential agreement. Tucker's legal team confirmed his decision not to appeal and issued a statement on his behalf. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Turn everyday drives into standout moments. Toyota Glanza Learn More Undo 'Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud….We have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.' Tucker's career took a major hit after the Baltimore Banner published allegations from six massage therapists spanning 2012 to 2016. Following the report, the Ravens moved on from their longtime kicker after 13 seasons, drafting Tyler Loop in April. Once the NFL's most accurate leg, Tucker's performance slipped last year to a career-low 73.3% conversion rate. His $6M-per-year value now hangs in limbo as he forfeits an estimated $3.52M in missed games.

He can still participate in training camps, sign with teams, and appear in preseason games during this time. While his image has taken a blow, his resume and past reliability could still draw interest once eligible. If a team overlooks the controversy, Justin Tucker might just kick his way back into the NFL. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
