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.

Danny Espinosa (wrist) isn't expected back in the lineup until Friday.

Espinosa was feeling better Tuesday but still had a large bruise on his right forearm. There's an outside chance he'll be ready Wednesday, but the Nationals will likely hold him out until after the off day Thursday.

Danny Espinosa (wrist) is hoping to be back in the lineup on Wednesday.

Espinosa left Sunday's game after getting plunked on the right wrist by a pitch. He doesn't have much soreness, but stiffness in the wrist will force him to sit out at least a couple games. With the Nationals having an off day Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out until Friday.
