Alcides Escobar, in his second season with the Washington Nationals, after he was acquired from the Kansas City Royals last July 3rd, connected for his first hit of the 2022 campaign in his first plate appearance of the year, but went 0 for 19 after the initial single. Escobar, 35, is in his 13th big league campaign, but he didn’t play in the majors at all in 2019-2020, and the numbers he put up with the Nats last season (.288/.340/.404, 21 doubles, 2 triples, 4 HRs in 75 games and 349 PAs, 1.7 fWAR) were his best since 2012 & ‘14, when he put up 2.
