Jermaine Palacios joining Twins' bench in Monday matinee

Minnesota Twins infielder Jermaine Palacios is not in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Cal Quantrill and the Cleveland Guardians.

What It Means:

Nick Gordon will replace Palacios on second base and bat cleanup. Gio Urshela will hit fifth after cleaning up on Sunday.

Gordon has a $2,200 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.5 FanDuel points. Urshela has a $2,600 salary and is projected for 9.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins’ implied total (3.69) is No. 9 out of 18 teams in the majors today.
