Escobar, who missed time earlier in the week with left eye irritation, had his fifth consecutive multi-hit game Friday with a 2-for-4 effort against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

With 13 hits in his last 17 at-bats, Escobar is completely locked in the final week of Cactus League play approaches. Along with Daniel Nava, Escobar is a candidate to hit at or near the top of the Angels' lineup, which could lead to a significant number of runs scored with the likes of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols anchoring the order.
