| Danny Espinosa feeling fine after rehab opener |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (6/14/13) Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa told The Washington Post he felt fine after starting his minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse Thursday.
Espinosa played three innings and finished 1 for 2 with a run and strikeout while batting right-handed in his rehab opener.
"He's a tough guy," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "I don't think these injuries will set him back. I think he just needs to get his timing down and start feeling good about himself from the left and the right side."

| Danny Espinosa scores run in rehab debut |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (6/13/13) Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa went 1 for 2 and scored a run for Triple-A Syracuse in the first game of his rehab assignment Thursday before being removed from the game for a defensive replacement.
Espinosa is working his way back from a fractured right wrist and was scheduled to play just three innings in his first rehab appearance.

| Danny Espinosa to play three innings in rehab game Thursday |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (6/12/13) Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa will begin a rehab assignment by playing three innings with Triple-A Syracuse Thursday, the Washington Post reports.
Espinosa, who has resumed baseball activities as expected, is on the disabled list with a fractured right wrist. He could remain in the minors to work on his swing once the rehab assignment officially ends.

| Danny Espinosa nearing a return to baseball workouts |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (6/8/13) If Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa is feeling better in the next few days, he will likely resume baseball activities. Espinosa had a cortisone injection Thursday in his fractured right wrist, and the team is waiting to see how he responds before moving forward, according to The Washington Times.
"From my understanding, the break and the little chip that’s separated from it is not in a position where it can cause any more irritation," manager Davey Johnson said Saturday, without putting a specific timeline on Espinosa's resumption of activities. "And the major bone has probably had enough time to calm down. So hopefully he won’t have a whole lot of discomfort, no weakness in the hand. He was playing through it pretty good.”
Johnson also reiterated that Espinosa's torn rotator cuff is not a concern, and will not have any impact on when he can return from the disabled list. The wrist remains his only concern, after he opted to avoid surgery on the shoulder.
"The shoulder, he did a lot of exercising to strengthen all the muscles around the rotator cuff," Johnson said. "The doctors decided to go that route instead. Maybe we’re past it. I don’t know. That will be something we have to look at in the offseason."
Espinosa may not return to the majors when he comes off the disabled list.

| Danny Espinosa's shoulder not an issue |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (6/6/13) Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa had an MRI on his fractured right wrist as well as his left shoulder, neither of which revealed anything surprising. In fact, the MRI on his shoulder showed that the torn left rotator cuff he suffered last season is not a big problem.
While the team did not go into much detail, MLB.com described it as just "a little injury," indicating that it has healed well without surgery.
Espinosa is expected to resume baseball activities in four to five days after having a cortisone shot in his wrist.

| For the second time in his two full major league seasons, Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa wasn't far off from a 20-20 campaign. In his rookie season, he fell short on the stolen base end, and then last year, Espinosa delivered 20 steals but only 17 home runs. Those two categories went a long way toward making Espinosa a top 12 second baseman in standard Rotisserie and Head-to-Head formats, but there were signs a repeat of that ranking might be in danger. Espinosa has never been an especially choosy hitter, but his plate discipline took a turn for the worse as he swung at more pitches, particularly those outside the strike zone. More strikeouts and less power were by-products of that trend. Because he filled in at shortstop for 34 games last season, Espinosa will have shortstop eligibility in 2013, but with second base being a shallow position, the multi-position eligibility doesn't really add much value. It could be easy for owners to overrate Espinosa due to his positions and 20-20 potential, but if he continues to struggle with pitch recognition his batting average, home runs and stolen bases could all decline. Whether you use him at second base or shortstop, Espinosa is best reserved for the later rounds in standard mixed league drafts. (Updated 12/11/12) |
