Twins' Alex Kirilloff on bench versus lefty Monday
The Minnesota Twins did not include Alex Kirilloff in their lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Kirilloff will move to the bench for Monday's game against the Orioles and left-handed starter Cole Irvin. Byron Buxton will move back into the lineup in centerfield and will bat third against the lefty.
Kirilloff has been excellent against right-handed pitching this year, but is still limited to a platoon-role in the Twins' offense. He's up to a .915 OPS through 49 plate appearances, with an impressive collection of triples (3) already.
