Byron Buxton on Twins' bench Thursday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Cal Quantrill and the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
The Twins appear to be giving Buxton a routine day off. Nick Gordon is covering center field for Buxton. Andrelton Simmons is returning to the lineup to play shortstop and hit ninth.
numberFire’s models project Gordon for 7.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins have an implied total of 4.2 runs. Quantrill is registering a 19.7 strikeout percentage and a 7.8 walk percentage this season, with a 4.16 xERA and a .311 xwOBA.
