Espinal is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Espinal started the past three games and will take a seat after going 5-for-10 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run scored. The 27-year-old has remained the preferred option at second base despite the acquisition of Whit Merrifield at the trade deadline, though Merrifield has spent a lot of time in center field in place of George Springer (knee). Cavan Biggio is starting at the keystone and batting eighth.
