Escobar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Escobar is 3-for-24 with nine strikeouts over his past eight games, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. The veteran infielder will likely have a lesser role during the final week of the regular season with Mike Moustakas (forearm) being reinstated from the injured list.
