Chris Gimenez starting at catcher for Minnesota on Thursday

Minnesota Twins catcher Chris Gimenez is batting eighth against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.

What It Means:

Gimenez is taking over from starter Jason Castro today, as the two continue their regular rest-rotation schedule. Gimenez has come into a bit of national notoriety for his position player relief appearances, but sadly those are not much added fantasy impact for the Minnesota backstop.

The Twins have the day's seventh-highest implied total (5.19 runs), playing in an above-average offensive park (1.010 park factor) at Target Field. White Sox starter Jose Quintana also has a fly-ball prone profile (.743 ground-to-fly ball ratio), which bodes well for the Twins' right-handed power hitters.
