Matt Wallner Returning To Lineup Tuesday
1 year agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The lefty-swinging outfielder didn't start Tuesday's contest against a left-handed Joey Wentz but will return on Tuesday despite another lefty on the mound for the Tigers. Waller has made just 13 trips to the plate against southpaws this season and has collected one hit in that time, although that hit went for a home run. Overall, the 25-year-old has mashed in a small big-league sample this season, hitting .268 with seven homers and a .954 OPS across 97 trips to the plate. However, his .430 xwOBA is above his current .406 wOBA as it appears he hasn't been the beneficiary of increased luck to this point.
