Abrams (back) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Abrams told reporters Saturday that he first felt his back issues flare up Thursday during rain delays, which led to his removal from Friday's lineup, per Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com. With the Nationals scheduled for an off day Monday, Abrams will be held out for the weekend series against the Angels and aim to return Tuesday for the series opener against the Orioles. The 23-year-old has struggled from the plate since the All-Star break and is slashing .165/.212/.266 with nine runs scored, two home runs and 11 RBI across 83 plate appearances.

Moore went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Mets on Friday.

Moore generated the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Mariners, accomplishing the feat for the first time since July 30. The veteran's bat had been very quiet since then, with Moore posting an anemic .091 average (2-for-22) with no extra-base hits, one RBI and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in the seven games prior to Friday.

Hernaiz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

The rookie accounted for the Athletics' only run of the game with his 391-foot shot to left center in the third inning, his first big-league homer. Friday's start was the fourth in six games for Hernaiz since returning from the 60-day injured list, and he's now hit safely in two of the last three contests. However, Friday's blast was the first extra-base hit of his career as well, and he's still limping along with a .188 average and .472 OPS across 90 plate appearances this season.

Volpe (foot) will start at shortstop and bat seventh during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Texas.

Volpe was removed from Thursday's game after fouling a ball off his left foot. He received an extra day off to recover thanks to the postponement of Friday's contest, and he'll now return to the lineup without missing any time. The 23-year-old shortstop has gone 7-for-24 with two homers and six RBI since the beginning of August.

Hamilton went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Astros.

Hamilton provided Boston's lone hit with runners in scoring position in the second inning when his double plated two runs. Other than that, the Red Sox went hitless in 11 at-bats with RISP. Hamilton is slowly emerging from a slump and is 6-for-15 with three doubles, a home run, five RBI and two stolen bases over his last five games.

Rocchio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 loss to the Twins during the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Rocchio got the Guardians on the board in the seventh inning of the matinee but went 0-for-4 in the nightcap. The 23-year-old has started six of the last eight games at shortstop, seemingly clawing back a starting role over Daniel Schneemann at the highly contested position for Cleveland. Rocchio has gone just 5-for-22 over eight contests in August, and he's slashing .206/.297/.312 with five homers, eight stolen bases, 23 RBI and 38 runs scored over 103 games this season.

Cruz went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Cruz came up a triple shy of the cycle, logging his second three-hit game in a row since returning from an illness. The shortstop has gone 12-for-24 (.500) with three extra-base hits over six contests in August. Cruz is up to a .262/.315/.473 slash line with a career-high 18 homers, 59 RBI, 54 runs scored, 24 doubles and 11 stolen bases over 103 games this season.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.

David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reported Friday that Mookie Betts (hand) will shift to right field when he returns Monday, so Rojas will remain in competition with Nick Ahmed and Amed Rosario for playing time at shortstop. Rojas has started two straight games since he returned from the injured list himself after missing two weeks with a forearm injury. For the season, Rojas has been a steady batter, hitting .270 with a .713 OPS, three home runs, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, six steals and 17 doubles over 215 plate appearances. As long as he can avoid a slump, Rojas appears to be in line for the bulk of the action at shortstop.

Baez (neck) went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Baez swiped third base and then had no trouble scurrying home after a pair of errant throws by the Giants. He missed just one game with a bout of neck soreness. He's up to eight steals on nine attempts this year, with two of those thefts coming over seven contests in August. The shortstop is slashing just .181/.222/.277 with four home runs, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored and 12 doubles across 73 games.

Bliss went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Mets.

Bliss opened the scoring in the second inning, with the long ball being his first major-league hit since June 22. The infielder primarily looks to be a backup to Jorge Polanco at second base, so there's no guarantee Bliss will get steady at-bats even against southpaws. For the season, he's slashing .222/.290/397 with two homers, nine RBI, 10 runs scored and five stolen bases over 71 plate appearances in the majors, in addition to a hearty .846 OPS over 62 contests at Triple-A Tacoma.
