Luis Arraez Sits Friday
5 years agoMinnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez is not in the team's lineup for Friday's matchup against the Chicago White Sox. Arraez, who made his MLB debut off the bench on May 18, started the next four games, and this will be only his second time sitting. Arraez is 7-for-15 with a home run, three walks and no strikeouts in his young MLB career, although he remains more of an AL-only option. Byron Buxton is back hitting ninth after his off day yesterday, Minnesota's only change from Thursday's 16-run outburst other than at catcher. Despite his success this season and facing White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez (5.14 ERA), batting ninth makes Buxton not ideal for DFS. Other options on the Twins are better bets, despite Lopez's 2.29 ERA in his last three starts.
