Escobar went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The light-hitting third baseman took advantage of a matchup against the most homer-prone pitcher in the majors, Mike Fiers, and took him deep twice. The two long balls only brought his season total up to four on the year, but he has been seeing the ball well at the plate recently, collecting multiple hits in five of his last seven games. Escobar's lack of power and speed won't excite many standard-league owners, but his recent hot stretch makes him worth rostering until he cools off.
