The Brewers placed Escobar on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring.
Escobar will miss extended time after exiting Sunday's game against the Nationals with a right hamstring issue, now diagnosed as a strain. He's eligible to return at the start of September, although it's unclear whether the 32-year-old will be ready by then. Pablo Reyes was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Escobar's spot on the active roster.
