3 years agoMinnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Luis Arraez will be shifting over to the keystone for the game while Jose Miranda will be manning first base. Polanco is slashing .232/.333/.364 with four home runs, 24 RBI and 18 runs over 41 games on the year. He's shown more patience than usual at the plate this year as he's currently sporting a career-high 13.6% walk rate, up from 7% last year. At the same time, his 24.3% strikeout rate is also a career-high, an increase from 18.3% last year.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
