Amazingly, Danny Espinosa is still rostered in 38 percent of leagues, to which I can only ask: Why?

As if attempting to play through a torn rotator cuff wasn't destructive enough to his batting average, he's back from a week off to rest his aching wrist. And why does it ache? There's a piece of bone floating around in there. Ouch.

For some injuries, "rub some dirt on it, kid" just doesn't apply, and I'm afraid Espinosa might be toughing it out to his own detriment. The shoulder and wrist are usually what make or break a swing, and neither is right for him -- a hitter who was destined to hit .240 even if completely healthy.

I'm not expecting much from the Nationals second baseman the rest of the way, and neither should you.
