Guardians' Daniel Espino: Goes on MiLB IL

Double-A Akron placed Espino (knee) on its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Espino has been managing patellar tendinitis in his right knee since exiting his fourth start of the season Friday, so he'll be given at least a week off to recover from the injury. One of the top arms in the Guardians' farm system, Espino has submitted a 2.45 ERA and 0.72 WHIP while striking out 35 over 18.1 innings this season.
