ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Washington’s CJ Abrams has a sprained left ankle and manager Blake Butera said Thursday the All-Star shortstop is day to day.

Abrams was hurt in the Nationals’ 6-0 win at Texas on Wednesday night when he went into second base awkwardly on a ninth-inning double.

“Saw a doctor today and potentially get some imaging,” Butera said. “After the game, he was like, ’Yeah, it’s bothering me, but I think I’ll be good tomorrow.’ Then this morning, I checked in with him, and he was like, it kind of blew up on him. He’s getting treatment all day.”
