Yunel Escobar

Angels expect to have Yunel Escobar back in action this weekend

Los Angeles Angels infielder Yunel Escobar (knee) is expected to play Saturday, said Angels manager Mike Scioscia.

What It Means:

Escobar will sit out on Friday after tweaking his knee on Thursday, but it isn't expected to be a prolonged issue. We're considering him day-to-day.

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.
