Escobar is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Indians.

Analysis:

The 28-year-old is sitting, along with most of the Royals' other regulars, after the team secured its first division title since 1985 with a win Thursday. Escobar missed two starts last weekend with an elbow injury, but has collected five hits in three games since returning to action, more than he had in his previous eight games combined.
