Starts rehab assignment Espinal (hip) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Running again Espinal (hip) was spotted Monday taking part in sprinting drills on the field prior to the Blue Jays' game against the Rays, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
Impact Espinal looks like he's starting to ramp up again after a right hip flexor strain resulted in him being shut down Aug. 29. He'll still need to incorporate full baseball activities into his workout regimen before heading out on what will likely be a multi-game minor-league rehab assignment. Jake Lamb and Breyvic Valera are expected to form a platoon at third base until Espinal is deemed ready to return from the 10-day injured list.
