Edouard Julien sitting on opening day vs a LHP
Edouard Julien is on the bench for Thursday’s Opening Day matchup against the Royals with Kyle Farmer starting at second base and hitting seventh.
Advice: The Royals are throwing left-hander Cole Ragans, so the Twins are sitting the majority of their left-handed starters. This was the case for Julien last year and it appears that will carry over into 2024. The same is true for Alex Kirilloff and Matt Wallner, who also find themselves on the bench against Ragans. All three should start regularly against right-handed pitchers, but fantasy managers with weekly lineup leagues should always check to see how many lefties the Twins are set to face in a given week. The opening day lineup for the Twins will be Byron Buxton CF, Ryan Jeffers, C, Royce Lewis 3B, Carlos Correa, SS, Carlos Santana 1B, Max Kepler, RF, Kyle Farmer, 2B, Willi Castro LF, Manuel Margot DH.
