Hitting bench Wednesday
Escarra is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis
Left-hander Parker Messick is on the bump for Cleveland, so the left-handed-hitting Escarra will give way to the right-handed-hitting Ali Sanchez behind the dish in the series finale. Escarra was included in the lineup against righties in the first two games of the series and appears poised to occupy the strong side of a platoon at catcher while top backstop Austin Wells (headaches) is on the shelf.

Back in majors
The Yankees recalled Escarra from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Analysis
Escarra was sent down to Triple-A on Friday after putting up just a .493 OPS through 68 plate appearances, but he'll turn around and return to the Bronx now that Austin Wells (head) is on the injured list. Escarra will likely work in a timeshare alongside Ali Sanchez behind the plate until Wells returns.
