Angels' Yunel Escobar: Included in lineup Wednesday

Escobar (abdomen) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's split-squad game against the Rangers.

Analysis:

The Angels held Escobar out for the last couple of days with a minor abdominal strain, but the team felt comfortable clearing him to play Wednesday. It's likely his brief absence was only precautionary and he shouldn't face any complications heading into Opening Day.
