A surprising career year for Eduardo Escobar has hit something of a lull in September, with the Arizona Diamondbacks infielder gasping to a .230/.289/.392 triple slash as the D-backs fell out of contention over the season's final month.

It looks like Escobar's been rather unlucky, though, stroking 31.7% liners and 33.3% hard contact yet coming away with a depressed .246 BABIP. He's in a good spot to turn things around this week, as Arizona looks to tee up against hittable righties Jacob Nix and Bryan Mitchell.

15 of Escobar's career-best 22 homers this season have come against righties, so he might even make for an against-the-grain play when facing tough Dodgers rookie Walker Buehler.
