Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Nunez is getting the day off Thursday.
Nunez has been sliding a bit in recent weeks, so Eduardo Escobar will fill in at shortstop and bat second against Philadelphia Phillies' right-hander Jerad Eickhoff.
Despite some regression, Nunez still boasts a .313/.345/.472 season slash line with nine home runs and 26 RBI's in 263 appearances at the plate. His 17 stolen bases are the fifth most in baseball.
