Infielder Santiago Espinal will return to the Blue Jays lineup for Game 2 of their AL Wild Card series against the Seattle Mariners, the team confirmed Saturday morning.

Espinal will start at second base, the first game for the 27-year-old Dominican since suffering an oblique sprain.
Whit Merrifield will move from second base to left field, meaning Raimel Tapia has been scratched from the Jays’ Game 2 starting lineup.
George Springer will remain in the lineup and start in centre field. The 33-year-old was hit by a pitch from Luis Castillo in the eighth inning. He underwent X-rays Friday evening, which came back negative, and the outfielder is now poised to help his team force an all-decisive Game 3.
