Stays in lineup Espinal started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Espinal and his smoldering bat made a fourth consecutive start. He's hit in all four games, going 8-for-14 with three doubles, a home run, three RBI and two additional runs. The month of July was Espinal's best; the utility infielder slashed .432/.457/.727 with three homers and eight RBI over 16 games.

Four-hit night Espinal started at designated hitter and went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact Espinal was in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game; with the Reds awaiting the arrival of Ty France, who was acquired Monday, Espinal slotted in at DH for the night. Once France arrives, it is expected that he and Jeimer Candelario will most frequently handle first base/DH.

Checks into lineup for nightcap Espinal will start at second base and bat eighth in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Impact Espinal has now picked up just two starts in the Reds' six games since the All-Star break. He saw an uptick in playing time to close out the second half while Jonathan India managed a knee contusion, but Espinal has shifted back into a utility role now that India has seemingly moved past the injury.

Takes over second base Espinal entered Saturday's game to play second base after Jonathan India (knee) was removed from the game. Espinal went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in 10-6 win over the Mar...

Impact India sustained a left-knee contusion on a steal attempt during the second inning and remained in the game for one more inning before his removal. He was scratched from a game earlier this week due to the same injury, although it's unclear if the two are related. The Reds may opt to sit India on Sunday, the final game before the All-Star break. Miami is scheduled to start a lefty, so the right-handed hitting Espinal was likely to play in some capacity even if India is available.

Homers in win Espinal went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's 8-1 win over Colorado.

Impact Espinal got the start at shortstop, giving Elly De La Cruz a breather, and belted his fourth home run of the season. It was his third straight start after he filled in at second base for Jonathan India, who battled knee soreness the previous two games. Espinal has hit safely in four straight, going 6-for-12 and bumping his average to .203 for the season.

Getting third straight start Espinal will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Espinal will be rewarded with a third consecutive start after he went 3-for-7 with a walk, two runs and two RBI between the previous two contests. Both of Espinal's last two starts have come against left-handed starting pitchers, so the 29-year-old infielder still appears to be viewed as a short-side platoon player rather than a regular in the Reds lineup.

Gets another start Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.

Steps in at third Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Espinal was a late addition to the lineup after Jeimer Candelario (neck) was scratched. The utility infielder is getting a relevant amount of plate appearances due to injuries and a player suspension. While his .195 average isn't attractive, Espinal has hit with regularity of late, going 9-for-33 (.273) with a double, a home run, three RBI, four walks, two steals and four runs scored over the last 11 games.
