3 years agoMinnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez, who has never played first base before this season, is now ostensibly the team's primary first baseman with Miguel Sano (knee) banged up and possibly requiring a trip to the injured list after being pulled from Saturday's game with knee issues. Gio Urshela and catcher Gary Sanchez could also be possibilities to play first base, while Jose Godoy is getting work there on Sunday. Arraez is starting at the cold corner and is hitting ninth on Sunday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming with Sano out. Sano is sitting out for the fourth time in the last five games. On top of the injury, he's hitting just .093 with one home run and three RBI in his 17 games played. Arraez's fantasy stock is on the rise, and he's also hitting .317 (20-for-63) with a homer and seven RBI in 70 plate appearances.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
