 Player Notes

Jul 3 Escobar went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in the Braves' win over the Nationals Friday.

Recommendation: He now has three hits in his two games since returning from a hip ailment that kept him out of the starting lineup for five games. Note Martin Prado has a good thing going in the second spot in the lineup, so Escobar may drop down lower in the order.
