Nationals utility man Danny Espinosa made the first start of his career at first base Saturday and said he is willing to play anywhere the team needs him as they deal with a rash of injuries, per The Washington Post.
Espinosa has played second base, shortstop, third base, left field and now first for the Nationals, and has provided solid defense and a surprising amount of offense.
"I'm going to play where there's an opportunity to play right now," Espinosa said. "If that's first base or left field, I'll play. … To get in the lineup. It's why I've been working out in left and first, to get in the lineup. Be in there and try to help the team win."
Espinosa is hitting .253 on the season.
