Espinosa is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
Cliff Pennington will take over at second base with Espinosa taking a seat following his three-strikeout evening Friday. Espinosa is striking out in an alarming 34.3 percent of his at-bats this season, which has contributed to his .231 on-base percentage. His next chance to return to the lineup will come Sunday against left-hander Tommy Milone.
