Rest-of-Season Projections
To work with instructional league next week
Escobar (oblique) will continue ramping up his baseball activities next week in the instructional league, Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Escobar will get a more intensive workout in next week, the club has withheld any sort of timetable for the infielder at this point in time. If Escobar is going to return before the end of the regular season, he will have to impress the organization while he's with the instructional league team, especially after suffering a setback for the second time since landing on the DL in early August. In his place, Luis Valbuena continues to earn the bulk of the action at the hot corner.

Escobar has one of the more stable skill sets in the league, albeit consistently below average. The only thing he does better than most is make contact, sporting a strikeout rate between 10 and 14 percent every season of his 11-year career. The problem is he's well below average in terms of both power and speed, so whatever contributions he provides in batting average, it's mostly negated with low counting stats. Last season, health was also an issue as Escobar failed to play in at least 132 games for the first time since his 2007 rookie campaign, missing a couple weeks in May with a strained hamstring before having his season truncated after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain in early August. Currently a free agent, Escobar will be 35 come the spring. He'll look to latch on somewhere as a reserve infielder, probably on a minor-league contract.
