Ryan Jeffers sitting Thursday afternoon for Twins
Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Guardians.
What It Means:
Jeffers started the last two games and four of the last five, but he's on the bench for Thursday's matinee. Gary Sanchez is starting at catcher and hitting seventh. Byron Buxton is at designated hitter and batting second.
numberFire’s models project Sanchez for 10.7 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has an $6,500 salary on the one-game afternoon slate. Buxton has a $9,000 salary and is the matinee's highest-projected hitter at 14.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins’ implied total is 4.11 and they are +132 underdogs.
