Espinosa not in lineup, Lobaton catching Fister
By Dan Kolko
Looks like Danny Espinosa will have to wait at least one more day to return to the Nationals starting lineup.
Espinosa isn't in the lineup posted for tonight's 6:05 p.m. game against the Rockies, the last of a three-game series. Instead, Anthony Rendon is manning second base, Ryan Zimmerman is at third and Bryce Harper is in left field.
Manager Matt Williams had said last night that he was considering playing Espinosa today. Instead, the lineup remains the same from 1-7 in the order.
The only change from yesterday is that Jose Lobaton is behind the plate, catching right-hander Doug Fister. In six games with Lobaton behind the dish, Fister has a 1.79 ERA.
