Escobar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's loss to Oakland.
The homer was Escobar's third of the season and improved his slugging percentage to a rock-solid .524. Considering the 28-year-old infielder entered 2017 with a .381 mark over 1,620 career plate appearances, there is probably steep negative regression ahead. Additionally, Escobar is only playing sparingly with just 47 plate appearances this season. Still, there are cavernous settings where he can help, and he's worth considering in daily contests as a low-priced flier while producing at the dish.
