Danny Espinosa 2B/SS WAS
18 Days Washington Nationals Comment

Danny Espinosa drove home his seventh run of the season with an RBI single in the fourth inning Friday, but that's all the offense the Nationals could muster against A.J. Burnett and the Pirates.

Espinosa finished the evening 1-for-4. He's off to a frustratingly slow start at the dish this season, hitting just .176 with two homers and seven RBI through his first 85 at-bats. A notoriously streaky hitter, Espinosa will have to get it going soon, or he could be at risk of losing at-bats to Steve Lombardozzi.

Danny Espinosa is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals.

Espinosa really struggled through the first month of the season, so Nationals manager Davey Johnson hopes that a couple of days off will recharge his batteries. Steve Lombardozzi is expected to start at second base on Wednesday and Thursday.

Danny Espinosa went 0-for-4 on Wednesday and is 2-for-18 since returning from a wrist injury.

Espinosa is hitting just .155 in 58 at-bats for the year. He still thinks he's a power hitter, yet it's unclear if his power is going to come all of the way back while he tries playing through a rotator cuff tear. The Nationals may well be better off with Steve Lombardozzi at second base right now.

Danny Espinosa (wrist) returned to the Nationals' lineup Saturday.

Espinosa was hoping to return Friday, but the Nationals decided to hold him out an extra game. He hasn't played in almost a week, but it sounds like his wrist injury is behind him at this point. With Espinosa healthy, Steve Lombardozzi will return to a bench role.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson clarified that Danny Espinosa (wrist) will not be available for Friday's game.

Espinosa had an eye on returning Friday, but Johnson is ruling him out until at least Saturday. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Sunday due to a bruised right forearm. Steve Lombardozzi will fill in again Friday.

Danny Espinosa (wrist) is out of the Nationals' lineup again Friday.

Espinosa hasn't played since he suffered a large bruise on his right forearm when he was hit by a pitch Sunday. He was hoping to return after taking early BP on Friday, but apparently the Nats want to give him another day of rest. Steve Lombardozzi will continue to fill in for now.
