Back with Jays Espinal was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Espinal was sent to Triple-A on Friday, but with Jonathan Davis being placed on the paternity list Tuesday, he finds himself back on the major-league roster. He'll provide infield depth in the coming days, though he very possibly may be sent back to the minors once Davis is ready to rejoin the club.

On bench for matinee Espinal is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Filling in for Biggio Espinal will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Rays.

Impact Espinal will be in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games, and at this point, he appears to have emerged as the primary replacement at third base for the injured Cavan Biggio (neck). The 26-year-old should provide capable defense at the hot corner, but he hasn't offered much of an impact with the bat over his 114 career MLB plate appearances (73 wRC+).

Since Gurriel will be eligible to return as soon as his symptoms subside, Espinal might not spend much time in the majors.
