Long-awaited big-league promotion The Guardians will recall Espino from Triple-A Columbus prior to Friday's game against the Tigers, Daniel Espino of The Athletic reports.

Impact Following two shoulder surgeries and multiple missed seasons due to injury, Espino is finally poised to make his major-league debut.
