TORONTO -- Manager Mike Scioscia updated the injury status of third baseman Yunel Escobar and reliever Cory Rasmus prior to the Angels' series finale against the Blue Jays on Thursday.
Escobar was placed on the 7-day DL with a concussion last Saturday after fouling a ball off his nose and cheek, and he is not expected to rejoin the team when he's first eligible to this Saturday. The 33-year-old did not join the Angels on their six-game trip through Toronto and Detroit, and he was re-evaluated on Thursday in Anaheim.
"We're going to wait with direction from our medical department," Scioscia said.
