Washington Nationals Post Today's Lineup Card
The Washington Nationals released today's lineup via the club's official account, with CJ Abrams's ankle and positional status among the threads worth tracking.

The Washington Nationals posted today's lineup card through the club's official account, linking the image without transcribing the batting order — which is, honestly, how lineups have always preferred to reveal themselves.
What to watch
The card lands in the middle of a few ongoing stories. CJ Abrams has been transitioning from shortstop to second base per a Washington Nationals announcement, a shift that Nationals beat reporter Mark Zuckerman has been following alongside a flagged ankle concern. Where Abrams slots in today — and at which position — is the question the card answers directly.
Andres Chaparro has also been earning his way into the conversation, having started at DH against a right-handed pitcher and gone 3-for-4 with a 3-run home run in that outing. Whether he appears again is worth a look.
Still unconfirmed
The specific batting order, starting pitcher, and positional assignments are not detailed in the source post — the lineup is linked as an image rather than listed. The Nationals' official post is the place to go for the full card.
Josiah Gray (right flexor strain) began a Minor League rehab assignment, so his path back to the active roster remains a separate, ongoing thread rather than today's news.
