The Washington Nationals have made a significant lineup change, scratching star shortstop CJ Abrams prior to their game against the Miami Marlins.

Due to a sore left shoulder sustained during a diving play, Nasim Nuñez will step in for Abrams as the shortstop, batting ninth. Despite Abrams' second-half slump, he remains a crucial part of the Nationals' future lineup.

The Nationals aim to rebound against the Marlins after a recent loss, with their updated batting order now set.
