Washington Nationals calling up C.J. Abrams to play short in D.C.

Davey Martinez told reporters. after yesterday’s 6-0 loss to the San Diego Padres, that Luis García had been unavailable after tweaking his groin earlier in the series with Juan Soto’s new club.

“He’s still — today he tried, he’s still sore, so we’ll see how he feels tomorrow.”

Garcia, 22, has been on a nice run, going 18 for 55 (.327/.345/.509) with two doubles, one triple, and two home runs in the last 15 games, but he hurt his groin running to first in the series opener this weekend, and didn’t play on Saturday.

“He got a little bit of a groin tightness,” Martinez said on Friday night.
