Yunel Escobar (hand) not in lineup for Nationals early game
Yunel Escobar is not in the lineup for the first game of the Nationals double header today. He has a hand injury. Danny Espinosa will move to third base, and Dan Uggla will play second base. Uggla will bat sixth
What It Means:
Uggla has a miserable .259 wOBA versus righties this year. Kevin Correia has held righties to a .274 wOBA in three starts, so we don't anticipate things changing for Uggla today.
