Escobar is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

His playing time is trending in the wrong direction -- Saturday's absence marks Escobar's fourth in the team's last five games. The 28-year-old was red hot throughout June, batting .354/.398/.549, but he's posted a sub-.600 OPS since the All-Star break.
