Escobar, who was already adjusting to a move to second base, will also see time at third base during the remainder of spring training, the Washington Post reports. With Anthony Rendon still having no timetable for his return from a knee injury, the Nationals want to keep their options open for a replacement. A lineup with Escobar at third and Danny Espinosa at second base would probably offer the club their best possible infield defense, but non-roster invitee Ian Stewart is also having a good spring and could also factor into the mix at the hot corner.
