For a long time, Daniel Espino was gone. One thousand two hundred fifty, to be exact.
But now he’s back.
After missing more than three years with a variety of injuries, Espino returned to game action this September with an appearance at Triple-A before heading to Arizona to get some extra work in the Fall League.
That work ended up netting him a cool accolade, as the 24-year-old was named a Fall League All-Star after pitching 4 2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts across four outings. According to Guardians Prospective, Espino won’t participate in the game.
