In addition to being held out of Saturday's lineup, Escobar (wrist) hopes to rest Sunday, James Wagner of The Washington Post reports. He'll attempt to take light swings to test the wrist. The Nationals have more infield depth following the recent return of Anthony Rendon, which may lead them to give Escobar a brief stint on the 15-day DL if the wrist doesn't improve in the coming days. At the very least, it seems unlikely that he'll be used in the weekend series against the Cubs outside of a late-inning pinch-running role.
