Zimmerman DHing, Espinosa back at second base
By Dan Kolko
BALTIMORE - Here's one way to get Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman, Anthony Rendon and Danny Espinosa all in the lineup on the same day: Play in an American League park.
Nationals manager Matt Williams has the luxury of the designated hitter today, and he'll use it by having Zimmerman DH and moving Rendon over to third base.
That allows Espinosa to make his first start since June 27. He'll play second.
Jose Lobaton had been scheduled to start behind the plate and catch Doug Fister last night, before the rainout. Now Wilson Ramos is in the lineup and he'll catch Fister tonight.
