Eduardo Escobar To Sit, Willians Astudillo Returns
6 years agoMinnesota Twins third baseman Eduardo Escobar will sit on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Ehire Adrianza will man third base in Escobar’s stead after returning from the disabled list. Catcher Willians Astudillo and outfielder Robbie Grossman are both back in the lineup as well. Astudillo will serve as designated hitter while Grossman mans right field. Jake Cave will also sit the matchup out, while Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler round out the rest of the lineup. The Twins offense has a tough test ahead of them in Blake Snell. Any Twins hitter is a risky play on Thursday, but value may be found in Brian Dozier and his hot bat. The veteran has gone 4-for-8 against Snell in his career as well.
