Nationals' Abrams, Cardinals' Winn Placed on 10-Day IL

The Washington Nationals have placed All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams on the 10-day injured list due to a right hip flexor strain, which he aggravated while stealing a base against the Marlins. Before his injury, Abrams was performing well, boasting a .244 batting average with four home runs in 11 games. In his absence, the Nationals have recalled middle infielder Nasim Nuñez, who is known for his defensive skills but lacks power at the plate. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals also placed shortstop Masyn Winn on the 10-day IL after suffering back spasms during a game against the Phillies. Manager Oli Marmol indicated the decision was precautionary, aiming to avoid long-term issues for Winn, who has dealt with back problems previously. The Cardinals activated infielder Nolan Gorman from the IL to fill the gap left by Winn as they navigate their roster adjustments.
