3 years agoMinnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros. Donaldson has appeared in each of the team's last two games, going 1-for-8 with an RBI, two walks, and two strikeouts. The team is being careful with the veteran third baseman, who recently missed five games due to a hamstring issue, one of several lower-body injuries he's had this season. Look for Donaldson to return to the lineup Sunday. Willians Astudillo will start at third base and bat eighth against righty Luis Garcia. Astudillo is a solid contact bat but has just five home runs in 151 at-bats, giving him limited upside.--Tim Capurso
