Escobar played the ninth inning of Monday's loss to Seattle at catcher. He started at DH and went 2-for-4.

EDGE Analysis

He's been Minnesota's emergency catcher, but it was his first career appearance in a game. He may qualify at catcher in some formats as a result. It's unlikely he'll get more time at the position this season, however. Escobar is a utility infielder, but has nine starts at DH this season thanks to his .985 OPS against left-handed pitching.
