Laynce Nix (Achilles) expects to return to the starting lineup Friday against the White Sox.
Nix is out of the lineup for the second straight day Thursday with a sore right Achilles' heel, but is available to pinch-hit. It's possible he could be eased back into the lineup as the designated hitter, though Nationals manager Jim Riggleman wants to get Matt Stairs in the lineup.
