In a development for the Washington Nationals, All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams is making a position change. Abrams will be moving to second base, a new role for him after playing shortstop for the team for five seasons. Manager Blake Butera has confirmed that Abrams has started working out at his new position.

Butera described the transition as relatively quick, expecting it to take a matter of days rather than weeks. Further details on the transition and what it may mean for the team are available from the source. For now, it is known that Abrams is adapting to a new position, and the team is supporting his move to second base.
