Danny Espinosa to play second base
Class AAA Syracuse infielder Danny Espinosa will play second base tonight for the first time, a potentially significant sign for his future with the Nationals.
Andy LaRoche got his second straight start at third base against a left-hander Saturday, but Dodgers manager Joe Torre stopped short of calling third base a straight platoon situation between the right-handed-hitting LaRoche and the left-handed-hitting Blake DeWitt.
