Minnesota Twins infielder Ildemaro Vargas is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Aaron Civale and the Cleveland Indians.
Luis Arraez will replace Vargas on second base and bat eighth. Vargas went 0-for-5 on Sunday but has gone 5-for-17 (.294) with a .749 OPS for the Twins since being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this month.
numberFire's models expect Vargas to bat .257 with 2 homers and 8 RBI over the rest of the season.
