Paolo Espino had his contract purchased by the Texas Rangers in 2017, after he debuted for the Milwaukee Brewers earlier that season.
He made six appearances out of the bullpen, finishing four games, but was released in April of 2018, and he didn’t pitch in the majors again until he was in Washington in 2020, but he’s been a valuable part of the Nationals’ roster since, pitching in the rotation at times and out of the bullpen for the most part this season, though he’d moved into the rotation for his last two outings before tonight.
