MILWAUKEE -- Paolo Espino will return to the big leagues for his second career start Thursday when the Milwaukee Brewers wrap up a four-game series with the San Francisco Giants at Miller Park.
The Giants will counter with right-hander Johnny Cueto in the series finale after the Brewers won the past two games.
Espino takes the spot of right-hander Matt Garza, who went on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday due to a chest contusion sustained Sunday when he collided with Jesus Aguilar trying to make a play at first base.
