STOCK UP
Danny Espinosa, 2B/LF: .438 AVG/ 2 HR/ 4 RBI
It’s hard to believe, but Espinosa has quietly been one of the great stories on this Nationals club this season. Thought to be a part-time player heading into the season, he’s second on the team in home runs (8), is as versatile as they come and — at the moment — can’t be left out of the lineup.
