Joe Mauer leading off for the Twins on Tuesday

The Minnesota Twins have first baseman Joe Mauer batting leading off versus the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Mauer has batted in the two, three, or four-spot in the order every game he has started this season and will be making his first leadoff appearance since May 18 of 2016. The extra at-bats is a modest boost to his fantasy value if the move sticks.

Mauer is batting .240 while walking a career-low 7.6 percent of the time in 105 plate appearances this season.
