Yankees' Willie Calhoun sitting versus righty again

New York Yankees designated hitter Willie Calhoun is not in the starting lineup versus right-hander Sonny Gray and the Minnesota Twins in Monday's series opener.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Calhoun remains out of the lineup for a second straight day versus a right-handed pitcher. Aaron Judge will handle DH work on Monday while Franchy Cordero joins the outfield.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Yankees' implied total is second-lowest on the slate at 3.43 and the game total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5. Gray has the second-best strikeout rate (28.3%) out of the projected starters on the Main slate. Judge ($4,200) is still our highest-projected batter on the board at 14.6 FanDuel points.
