Escobar, Nunez to share shortstop duties

TORONTO -- Twins manager Paul Molitor reiterated on Tuesday that he plans to mix in Eduardo Escobar and Eduardo Nunez at shortstop, and that neither will be the club's everyday shortstop in the short term.

After the Twins optioned fellow shortstops Danny Santana and Jorge Polanco following Friday's game, Escobar started at shortstop for three straight games before Nunez made the start at short against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Molitor said he'll continue to play both based on matchups.
