Twins outfielder Eduardo Escobar returned to the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the A's. Escobar was given the day off on Sunday after starting the previous five games. He got the start in left field, batting seventh for manager Paul Molitor.
Escobar, who is batting just .167 on the season, is replacing Oswaldo Arcia in the lineup after he was placed on the 15-day disabled list earlier Monday.
