3 years agoMinnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez (abdomen) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Sanchez will miss his seventh straight game while dealing with abdominal tightness. The 29-year-old backstop did some work on the field before Wednesday's game, though, so hopefully he'll be able to return this weekend. Ryan Jeffers is behind the plate again on Thursday and is hitting seventh against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. The 24-year-old isn't much of an offensive force, but he does have two home runs and four RBI in 47 plate appearances for the Twins to begin the season. Sanchez is off to a slow start in his first year in Minnesota, hitting .216 (8-for-37) with one homer and eight RBI in 10 games played.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
