Daniel Espino promoted to Guardians ahead of MLB debut against Tigers

Daniel Espino has been promoted by the Cleveland Guardians and is set to make his MLB debut as a relief pitcher against the Tigers. The 25-year-old right-handed prospect's journey back to the majors has been marked by significant injury setbacks since being drafted 24th overall in 2019. Espino's professional career has seen him make only a handful of appearances over the past four seasons, largely due to injuries, but he has demonstrated resilience throughout the challenges. Cleveland has managed his workload cautiously at Triple-A Columbus, avoiding consecutive game appearances during his rehabilitation.
