Nelson Cruz resting Tuesday for Twins
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz is not in the lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox.
What It Means:
The Twins appear to be giving Cruz the night off. Jorge Polanco will cover DH duties and hit third while Luis Arraez will man second base and bat leadoff. Trevor Larnach will make a start in left field and hit sixth. Miguel Sano has been bumped up a couple spots to hit fifth and Kyle Garlick has been moved down to eighth in the order.
numberFire’s models project Polanco for 9.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins have an implied total of 4.2 runs. Lynn is registering a 31.2 strikeout percentage and 7.8 walk percentage this season.
