For those of you wondering, no reason to be concerned about second baseman Danny Espinosa's absence from the lineup. Espinosa, who played yesterday in Port St. Lucie for the first time since leaving Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his right foot, is fine. Manager Jim Riggleman just wanted to get some of his other infielders into game situations.

DH - Nyjer Morgan
CF - Rick Ankiel
RF - Jayson Werth
1B - Adam LaRoche
C - Wilson Ramos
LF - Roger Bernadina
3B - Jerry Hairston Jr.
2B - Alex Cora
