Escobar (hand) will return to the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Phillies, CSN Washington's Mark Zuckerman reports. After returning Bryce Harper (leg) and Denard Span (back) to the lineup for the first game of the day, the Nationals will welcome back another regular for the nightcap in Escobar, who missed the last two games following the pitch to the hand he received Friday night. X-rays didn't indicate any sort of fracture, and with the swelling having now sufficiently subsided, it looks like Escobar will be back in the fold as the Nats' everyday third baseman.
