Yunel Escobar

Yunel Escobar out of Angels' lineup Friday with knee injury

Los Angeles Angels infielder Yunel Escobar (knee) is not in Friday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Escobar still isn't at 100 percent after a knee injury forced him out of Thursday's contest. Shane Robinson will be in left field, while Jefry Marte starts at the hot corner.

Escobar offers no power, but is slashing a solid .310/.359/.409 with three home runs and a .335 wOBA in 301 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to hit .292/.349/.389 with four home runs and a .321 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
