The Angels acquired middle infielder Danny Espinosa from the Nationals for two minor league pitchers Saturday night.

The Angels sent right-handers Austin Adams and Kyle McGowin to the Nationals for Espinosa, who presumably lost his starting job when Washington obtained outfielder Adam Eaton from the White Sox on Wednesday -- a move that means NL Rookie of the Year runner-up Trea Turner will go from from center field back to his natural position at shortstop.
