Twins' Zack Granite starting, leading off on Thursday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Zack Granite is starting and batting leadoff Thursday against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

After clinching a playoff berth on Wednesday, the Twins are deploying a B-team of sorts Thursday afternoon. That includes Granite manning center in place of Byron Buxton.

With a .281 wOBA in 97 plate appearances, Granite -- at $2,300 -- is projected to produce 8.4 FanDuel points from his leadoff spot today.
