Jason Castro starting at catcher as Twins battle Yankees

Minnesota Twins catcher Jason Castro is starting on Monday versus the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Castro will catch Twins left-hander Adalberto Mejia while batting ninth versus Yankees right-hander Bryan Mitchell, who is making his first start in the majors this season. Chris Gimenez returns to Minnesota's bench after starting behind the plate on Sunday.

numberFire's models project Castro to score a moderate 7.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,400 on Monday, but he could be worth a look in an advantageous matchup, as Mitchell is inexperienced and owns non-imposing season-long numbers (13.9 strikeout percentage, 9.7 walk percentage). The Twins also have a strong implied total at 5.00 runs.
