Escobar is out of the lineup Sunday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Escobar will receive his first day off since being activated from the disabled list June 1 after a bout with a hamstring injury. The infielder has looked good over his first nine games back with a .333 average and .405 on-base percentage, but he has only one RBI and three runs to show for it. Luis Valbuena will cover third base while Escobar rests in the series finale.
