Escobar will hit second and play third base in the Nationals' final exhibition game on Saturday against the Yankees, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports. Other than the Nats needing a DH, Saturday's lineup looks to be the one the club will use to kick off the regular season. Escobar's owners are apparently going to get rewarded with some extra position eligibility, as he fills in at third while Anthony Rendon (knee) is on the shelf.
