Espinosa is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Espinosa has just two hits in his last 50 at-bats and is batting just .142 on the season, so he'll take a seat as Cliff Pennington gets the nod at second base in his stead. If Espinosa doesn't turn things around quickly, he could continue to see Pennington steal some of his playing time.
