Escobar reached base four times in the Nationals' 15-1 victory over the Braves on Thursday. He singled three times, walked once, and drove in three runs in the win.

EDGE Analysis

Escobar missed the Nationals' final three games of August with a hand issue, but he hasn't missed a beat since returning. He's recorded eight hits in his first four games back -- all base knocks -- to extend his hitting streak to seven games. Fantasy owners should continue to deploy him for batting average protection, but don't expect an abundance production in any of the other counting stats categories.
