Espinal started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Espinal, who made a third consecutive start, was part of a lineup shuffle resulting from first baseman/designated hitter Jeimer Candelario (toe) landing on the 10-day injured list. Jonathan India moved from second base to DH, while Espinal took over at the keystone. He started the previous two games at third base, where Noelvi Marte's been playing, but Marte is in a prolonged slump and Espinal has earned additional opportunities with a strong second half so far. The utility infielder is batting .417/.440/.625 over 16 games since the All-Star break.
