Andrelton Simmons absent from Twins' lineup Tuesday

He's hit safely in all four games to start the year but will take a breather Tuesday afternoon. Jorge Polanco will cover shortstop and Luis Arraez (illness) will start on second. Willians Astudillo will enter the lineup at third base and hit eighth for his first start of the season.
