Running again Espinal (hip) was spotted Monday taking part in sprinting drills on the field prior to the Blue Jays' game against the Rays, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Espinal looks like he's starting to ramp up again after a right hip flexor strain resulted in him being shut down Aug. 29. He'll still need to incorporate full baseball activities into his workout regimen before heading out on what will likely be a multi-game minor-league rehab assignment. Jake Lamb and Breyvic Valera are expected to form a platoon at third base until Espinal is deemed ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Goes on IL The Blue Jays placed Espinal on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right hip flexor strain.

Impact Espinal exited Saturday's game against the Tigers with the hip issue, which the Blue Jays quickly determined was more than a day-to-day concern. While Espinal is sidelined for at least the next week and a half, Kevin Smith and Breyvic Valera are expected to step in as the Blue Jays' primary options at third base.

Exits with hip injury Espinal exited Saturday's game against the Tigers with a strained right hip flexor, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The severity of the injury is not yet clear. Espinal had stepped into a starting role at third base in the absence of Cavan Biggio, who's dealing with elbow, back and neck issues. Breyvic Valera replaced him in Saturday's contest and could spend time as a regular starter should Espinal miss an extended period as well, though Kevin Smith could also compete for opportunities.

Not in Friday's lineup Espinal is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Espinal started the past four games and will take a seat after going 3-for-13 with a run and a stolen base. Kevin Smith will cover the hot corner in his absence Friday.

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

Impact 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.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Espinal isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.

Impact Espinal will get a breather after he went 4-for-8 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base across the last two games. Breyvic Valera will start at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Santiago Espinal's RBI forceout ' 08/17/2021 Santiago Espinal grounds into a forceout and plates Teoscar Hernández to trim the Blue Jays' deficit in half, 8-4

Delivers three hits in win Espinal went 3-for-4 with three base hits and his fourth stolen base of the season in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Though he didn't score or produce any runs while batting out of the No. 9 spot, Espinal did his part to turn the lineup over and run up pitch counts on Mariners starter Logan Gilbert and the three relievers Seattle used on the afternoon. Espinal was making his sixth consecutive start at third base and appears to have at least temporarily moved ahead of Breyvic Valera, who started at second base after being withheld from the lineup the previous two days.
