Los Angeles Angels third baseman/shortstop Yunel Escobar worked out on the field and hit in the cage on Tuesday, reports Southern California News Group's Jeff Fletcher.
Angels coach Mike Scioscia said that he's still unsure when Escobar -- who has been out with a strained oblique since August 8th -- will be ready for game action. Escobar suffered a setback in the minors just three weeks ago so it may take a postseason appearance for him to take the field again this season. Luis Valbuena will continue to man the hot corner for L.A.
With 7 home runs and a .319 wOBA on the year, Escobar is projected for 10 hits, 3 RBI and 4 runs over the remainder of the season.
