The recent developments for the Washington Nationals include the demotion of CJ Abrams to Triple-A Rochester, citing internal reasons rather than performance issues, which will not affect his arbitration status. Manager Martinez expressed hope for Abrams' improvement and emphasized the team's support for him. Meanwhile, MacKenzie Gore delivered an outstanding performance against the Cubs, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning and leading the Nationals to a 5-1 victory, showcasing his potential as a staff ace. Joey Gallo also made a significant offensive contribution with a three-run homer, providing crucial insurance runs for Gore's pitching.
