Niko Goodrum in Twins' lineup against Cleveland

Minnesota Twins infielder Niko Goodrum is starting on Thursday against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Goodrum will start at second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Carlos Carrasco and the Indians. He's gone 1-for-12 this season. Brian Dozier will be available off the Twins' bench for Thursday's series finale.

It's a tough draw for the Twins, as Carrasco has given up just seven combined runs over his past six starts, twirling a 1.52 ERA and 28.3 strikeout percentage with a pair of shutouts in that span. numberFire's models project Goodrum to score only 3.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,000 on Thursday afternoon.
