Manager Matt Williams revealed that Escobar was removed from Thursday's game against the Cubs due to a right wrist injury, Rob Carlin of CSN Washington reports. Escobar suffered the injury on a check swing, prompting the training staff to pull him from the game to avoid worsening matters. Danny Espinosa came off the bench to fill in for Escobar, and would likely be first in line for at-bats should the ailment prevent Escobar from missing further games.
