CJ Abrams Injury: Starting rehab assignment

Abrams (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.

Abrams is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but the Nationals want him to play at least one rehab game first. Barring any setbacks, Abrams should rejoin the Nats' active roster later this week. He's been out since mid-April with a right hip flexor strain.
