With Rendon sidelined with a left wrist contusion and Neto suffering from a left oblique contusion, the Angels are taking their competition seriously this season as they work to strengthen their infield.
“Obviously, our depth is really being tested in the infield,” manager Phil Nevin said after his team lost 4-7 to the Rockies in the series opener at Coors Field. . “He’s a professional. He’s been around for a long time, he’s been through a lot in this game.
“He’s now someone I get a lot of text messages about how great a guy he is and how I want to win, and he’s also a competitor. So I have him here. I look forward to
The 34-year-old Escobar appeared in 40 games for the Mets this season, batting .236/.286/.409 with four homers, three doubles, two triples and 16 RBIs. Although he played primarily at third base, he appeared in nine games at second base and one at shortstop.
Escobar is a .254/.307/.435 hitter with 162 home runs and 621 RBIs in 1,304 games over 13 seasons for the White Sox, Twins, D-Backs, Brewers and Mets. He was named an All-Star in 2021 and has been hot at bat lately, batting .289/.349/.487 in his last 30 games.
The Venezuelan native has been one of the most entertaining players in the majors for years and is known for his clubhouse presence.
Escobar will play third base until Rendon returns, although he could fill in at second base or shortstop on occasion. The Angels started Andrew Velázquez at shortstop and Luis Lengifo at third base during Neto’s absence.
Brandon Drury and Michael Stefanick split time at second base, while Jared Walsh and Kevin Padro formed a platoon at first base.
However, the Angels are expected to release an infielder to make room for Escobar on their 26-man roster. Urscella moved to the 60-day IL to make room for Escobar on a 40-man roster.
Rendon’s wrist improved on Friday, but the exact timing of his return has yet to be determined, while Neto was not on the road and is still expected to be out for a few weeks. But the Angels want to be aggressive and have acquired Escobar in the final year of his contract, with a $9 million option in 2024.
To acquire Escobar, the Angels cut ties with two Double-A Rocket City right-handers.
Marceau, 23, was a third-round pick by Halos in the 2021 MLB Draft, pitching 59 double-A innings with a 4.88 ERA and 45 strikeouts.
Crowe, 22, was drafted in the 28th round of the 2019 MLB Draft and pitched 24 innings for the Trashpandas, striking out 31 with a 1.88 ERA. In the MLB pipeline, Crowe was ranked the club’s No. 19 prospect, while Marceau was No. 20.
