Abrams (knee) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Monday versus the Pirates in his return to the lineup, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Abrams missed Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers after banging his knee Saturday, but he needed just one day off to move past the injury. The young infielder has a .719 OPS with 16 home runs and 41 stolen bases this season.
