Nationals Demote All-Star CJ Abrams to Triple-A After Curfew Violation

The Washington Nationals have made the surprising decision to demote All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams to Triple-A Rochester following reports of him staying out late at a casino until 8 AM on game day. This move, described by manager Davey Martinez as not performance-based, has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike. The Nationals issued a statement indicating that the demotion was due to 'internal issues' unrelated to his on-field performance. Additionally, the team recalled Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. This disciplinary action comes as the team navigates the final games of the season.
