LUIS ARRAEZ NEWS

Sits against southpaw Arraez will sit Tuesday against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Arraez has started against every righty the Twins have faced this season, but he's been in the lineup just once against a lefty. The platoon role is working out well for him so far, as he's hit .354/.426/.458 while striking out just four times in 15 games.

Impact Arraez has picked up starts in only two of the Twins' first five games, but all three of his absences from the lineup have come when Minnesota has opposed a left-handed starting pitcher. With that in mind, Arraez may still have a stranglehold on a near-everyday role, despite his lack of usage to begin the campaign.
