Espinal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

After starting in nine of the past 10 games while reaching base at a .403 clip, Espinal appears to have at least temporarily locked down a near-everyday role at third base. Kevin Smith will get a nod at the hot corner in place of a resting Espinal, who should retain a spot atop the depth chart until Cavan Biggio (back) returns from the injured list.
