Analysis:
The Royals are hoping the cortisone injection eradicates Escobar's shoulder inflammation quickly, but he does figure to miss at least a couple more days following the treatment. While Escobar's injury has been deemed mild, he's logged just six at-bats so far this spring and needs to get back as soon as possible to prepare for the regular season.
