After both Michael Taylor (right knee) and Yunel Escobar (right hand) were injured during tonight's game, Washington Nationals' skipper Matt Williams announced that Denard Span was headed back to the DL and potentially done for the season.
Washington's Nationals beat the San Diego Padres to take two games of the three-game set in D.C., but Thursday's win was a costly one. Yunel Escobar got hit in the hand, forcing in a run in the fifth, then left the game before the top of the sixth. In the top of the seventh, Michael Taylor tracked a long fly ball off Melvin Upton's bat to the wall in center and ran full-speed into the fence, injuring his right knee in the process in a brutal collision.
