Max Kepler Out, Mitch Garver Hitting Leadoff
6 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the starting lineup on Monday. Jake Cave is receiving the start in right field and is batting seventh against Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker. Mitch Garver is behind the plate and hitting leadoff, while Willians Astudillo is back at third base and hitting sixth. Marwin Gonzalez has the day off as well. Garver receives a huge DFS boost in the top lineup spot against a pitcher that he can do damage against. The 28-year-old backstop has hits in half of his 22 at-bats this year to go along with three home runs and five RBI. He's a daily sleeper pick on Monday's slate.
