Matt Wallner Out Of Lineup Versus Lefty Sunday
1 year agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner is on the bench for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros on Sunday. Framber Valdez, a lefty, is starting for the Astros, so a few lefty hitters will take a seat for Minnesota. The rookie struggled against lefties this season with a .481 OPS. Willi Castro will take over left-field duties for the Twins. Wallner had been hitting seventh against righties this postseason. The rookie produced a 139 OPS+ with 14 home runs this season and should be a big part of the Minnesota offense next season.
