Byung-Ho Park

Byung-ho Park not starting as Twins battle Yankees

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Byung-ho Park is not in the Twins' lineup as they face the New York Yankees on Friday.

What It Means:

Park is getting a day off in favor of Eduardo Nunez who will serve as the team's designated hitter and leadoff. Eduardo Escobar will play shortstop and hit sixth against Masahiro Tanaka.

Park owns a .315 wOBA, 11 home runs and 20 RBI's through 221 plate appearances this season. Our models project him to have a .293 wOBA with eight home runs and 30 RBI's remaining in 2016.
