Sandy Leon on Twins' bench Thursday afternoon

Minnesota Twins catcher Sandy Leon is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jonathan Heasley and the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Caleb Hamilton will catch for Josh Winder and hit ninth. Leon and Gary Sanchez are both out of the lineup.

Hamilton is numberFire's lowest-projected hitter on Thursday at 2.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Twins’ implied total (4.15) is No. 6 in the majors today.
