Sandy Leon making Twins debut Wednesday afternoon

Minnesota Twins catcher Sandy Leon is in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Tyler Alexander and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

The Twins acquired Leon from the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday to provide some catching depth behind Gary Sanchez while Ryan Jeffers is shelved with a thumb injury. Leon will catch for Joe Ryan and hit eighth on Wednesday afternoon.

Leon has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins' implied total (4.93) is fifth-highest in the majors on Wednesday.
