Minnesota Twins first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas is not in the lineup Friday.
Vargas is getting a routine night off as Joe Mauer will man first base and bat third while Robbie Grossman will DH and hit second versus the Kansas City Royals.
After a hot start, Vargas has cooled off recently, collecting just two hits in his last 20 plate appearances while striking out seven times. He is batting .220 with four home runs and 13 RBI's on the season.
