Santiago Espinal Stats

According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (wrist) had an X-ray on his right wrist on Sunday. The 28-year-old exited Saturday's meeting with the Yankees after being hit by a pitch. Fortunately, the results didn't reveal a fracture, so he'll be day-to-day with a contusion. However, Espinal hasn't played well this season, meaning there aren't many fantasy managers anxiously awaiting his return.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal left Saturday's game after being hit by a pitch. The 28-year-old was plunked by Gerrit Cole on his wrist/hand in the second inning and exited the contest. Cavan Biggio stepped in as a pinch-runner in his place. Espinal will undergo additional testing to determine the severity of his injury. The team should provide an update on his status following the conclusion of Saturday's contest.

The Toronto Blue Jays and infielder Santiago Espinal agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million deal to avoid salary arbitration. The 28-year-old has established himself as a vital component of the Blue Jays organization as a utility infielder. He spent the bulk of 2022 at second base but also saw some reps at shortstop and third. His bat has become a weapon after slashing .267/.322/.370 with a .692 OPS that earned him an all-star spot. Although the Blue Jays acquired Whit Merrifield last season, Merrifield had no issue getting some outfield reps. If Espinal can match the numbers he posted this past season, he should be a solid fantasy option with position eligibility at second, shortstop, and third base in 2023.
