Willians Astudillo sitting for Twins Monday

The Minnesota Twins did not list Willians Astudillo in their lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Astudillo will catch a well-deserved breather Monday after starting at least six consecutive games. His absence today makes way for Andrelton Simmons to re-enter the lineup at shortstop, while Jorge Polanco moves to second, Luis Arraez moves to left field, and Alex Kirilloff drops to first base.

Astudillo's 2020 season was unfortunately cut short, but he's having a strong 2021 with 1 home run, a .289 batting average and a .683 OPS over 46 plate appearances so far.
