Angels' Yunel Escobar: Expected to return Wednesday
Escobar (wrist) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
Analysis:
The diagnosis of a bruised left wrist seemed to bode well for Escobar's chances of avoiding a DL stint, and manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday that he expects the 33-year-old to return after a two-start absence. Escobar has gone 32-for-97 (.330 average) for the month of May, although only five of those hits went for extra bases (all doubles).
