Escobar was on the DL because of a left groin strain in early-mid May. Then a left hamstring injury in early July. In that time, there was Nunez getting those consistent at bats and for almost 4 full months was hitting over .300. No consistent AB's for Escobar. And now there's Polanco, whom the Twins really need to see if he is a shortstop of the future. Because it seems that the other infield spots are taken.
