Espinal is a tough guy to downgrade from, but the Reds found a way. The utilityman had started 24 straight games since the second game of a doubleheader on Apr. 30. The first four of those saw him go 9-for-15 with five RBI. The last 20 saw him go 14-for-77 with two RBI. He’s hit .191/.255/.213 in 12 games since the Reds moved up him to the second spot in the lineup.
