In addition to batting second, Escobar played shortstop, which is part of a larger initiative to see if the Mets’ usual third basemen can be a utility infielder upon his return.
The Mets placed Escobar on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 16, with a left oblique strain after the 33-year-old exited the Mets’ 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Phillies on Aug. 12. An MRI exam came back clean, but Escobar had said he felt the discomfort primarily when he was swinging.
If Baty remains on the roster, the Mets will need a backup shortstop. Infielder Yolmer Sanchez is an option, but it appears the Mets are preparing to have Escobar fill that role until Luis Guillorme returns from the IL. “I thought I was going to be a Met, which would have been terrible,” Grissom said, according to MLB.com.
