The Yankees recalled Escarra from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Escarra was pushed off the 26-man roster July 30 to clear space for some trade deadline arrivals, but he'll rejoin the Yankees after Amed Rosario (collarbone) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Escarra will provide a third option at catcher behind Austin Wells and Ben Rice, and he's also seen occasional action at first base and third base this season.

The Yankees optioned Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Escarra has appeared in 39 games for the Yankees this season and is slashing .205/.299/.337 with one steal, two home runs and 10 RBI across 97 plate appearances. With Escarra down in Triple-A, Ben Rice will serve as the Yankees' primary backstop behind Austin Wells.

Escarra (personal) will start at catcher and bat eighth Monday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Yankees never officially placed him on the paternity list, Escarra was away from the club for a few days to observe the birth of his child before he returned to the bench for Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics. Escarra caught the final two innings of that contest and will now pick up his 20th start of the season Monday while top backstop Austin Wells rests.

Escarra will miss Wednesday's game against the Reds and is expected to be placed on the Yankees' paternity list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Escarra was supposed to be in Wednesday's lineup, but he'll be away from the team while attending to the birth of his child. The Yankees didn't have time to call up a player to Cincinnati, so Austin Wells will start at catcher, per Hoch.

Escarra continues to be used sparingly behind Austin Wells, and Saturday's RBI were his first since May 25, while the runs were his first since May 9.
