Espinosa is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight game, Espinosa will cede a start at the keystone to Cliff Pennington, who lacks the pop of Espinosa, but offers a more contact-oriented approach at the plate. Espinosa's 34.9 percent strikeout rate has played a large part in his batting average sitting at just .154 on the season, and he's unlikely to curb the whiffs enough to notice much recovery in that category, even if his depressed .211 BABIP rebounds a bit.
