Escobar went 2-for-5 Saturday. He's hit about as well as expected, slashing .263/.333/.316 through the Nationals' first five games while settling into the second spot in the batting order, and in fantasy leagues with a five game threshold Escobar just added third base eligibility to his resume. He'll eventually slide over to second base and get bumped down the batting order when Anthony Rendon (knee) comes off the DL, but as yet there's no timetable for Rendon's return.
