Twins' Nick Gordon starting Monday

Minnesota Twins infielder Nick Gordon is in the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander John Means and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

Gordon will bat ninth and start on second base over Luis Arraez after being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday. He brings impressive speed to the major league level and could potentially earn regular playing time moving forward.

numberFire’s models project Gordon for 9.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Means is registering impressive rates with a 27.4 strikeout percentage and 5.1 walk percentage this season, but he has the worst ground ball-to-fly ball ratio among Monday's listed starters.
