Escobar is starting at shortstop and batting sixth in the order Sunday against the Yankees, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
With five hits, including two homers over the last two games, Escobar will earn another starting nod Sunday. The return of Danny Santana from the DL will hurt Escobar's chances of remaining a regular in the lineup, but so long as he's hitting well, Escobar could be guaranteed frequent at-bats.
