Kennys Vargas

Twins' Kennys Vargas starting on Friday

Minnesota Twins first baseman and designated hitter Kennys Vargas will DH on Friday as the Twins take on the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Vargas is batting third in the Minnesota lineup and will oppose right-hander Trevor Bauer. Miguel Sano heads to the bench for a day of rest.

Vargas has accumulated 6 home runs, 22 RBI and a .364 wOBA when facing righties this season. But the Twins have an implied total of just 4.41 so temper expectations tonight.
