5 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's game against Matt Harvey and the Los Angeles Angels. It's Buxton's first game off since the early game of a May 11 doubleheader. Max Kepler is in center field at his usual leadoff spot with Marwin Gonzalez in right field, batting third as he has occasionally of late. It's the same lineup Minnesota put out Wednesday before the game was postponed to Thursday. If you are playing a DFS slate Thursday that features this game, Twins hitters like Kepler and Gonzalez are worth using against Harvey. Buxton, meanwhile, has an MLB-leading 18 doubles with four home runs and eight steals in a breakout campaign at age 25, making him roster-worthy in all year-long leagues.--Nathaniel Green
