The Nationals are waiting to see how shortstop Danny Espinosa responds to batting practice Monday, but the team has already ruled out a surgical repair for the bone chips in his right wrist.
Espinosa is going to either have to play through pain or hit the disabled list for extended rest, depending on how the injury responds over the next few days. The team plans on having him increase his workload in the coming days to test it out.
"We've already tried a couple times to rest it and get him back," team doctor Wiemi Douoguih told reporters. "If it flares up again, we're going to have to have a more extended period of rest. This is not like a surgical issue. This is something that needs rest."
