Escobar was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Escobar was designated for assignment last week, but he will now be outrighted to Triple-A after posting a 7.94 ERA over 5.2 innings in his first major-league action. The 23-year-old has been slightly more successful in the minors, but he'll likely require more time before gaining a consistent role in a major-league bullpen.
