Robinson Cano (abdominal strain) remains out of lineup tonight

Robinson Cano will miss his second straight game with an abdominal strain. Chris Taylor will start at second and bat eighth against the Twins.

What It Means:

Cano is expected to miss a couple days according to manager Lloyd McClendon. Taylor has a -1.11 nERD which puts him among the bottom 10 percent of batters in baseball, according to our nERD metric. Taylor is eligible as a shortstop on daily fantasy sites and our algorithm has him ranked as second to last among all shortstops for tonight.
