Escobar (knee) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Analysis:
Escobar missed each of the last two games with a mild left knee sprain suffered in a collision with Athletics third baseman Brett Lawrie on Friday, but the ailment has apparently subsided enough to return to the lineup. He'll assume the leadoff duty while manning shortstop.
