Manager Craig Counsell said Monday that he expects Escobar (hamstring) to return from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Brewers' upcoming three-game series with the Cardinals this weekend, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Barring any further setbacks in his recovery from a right hamstring injury, Escobar looks like he'll make his way back from the IL in the minimum time, or close to it. Since joining the Brewers ahead of the July 30 trade deadline, Escobar has settled in as Milwaukee's top third baseman against right-handed pitching and top first baseman against left-handed pitching. In 21 games with the Brewers, he's hitting .280 with two home runs, 11 runs and eight RBI.
