Comerica Park, Detroit, MI

Nick Gordon - Gets fourth consecutive startGordon will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

ImpactGordon doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot, but he should be in store for a solid dose of playing time while the likes of Carlos Correa (illness) and Gilberto Celestino (illness) are on the COVID-19-related injured list and while Royce Lewis (knee) is on the 10-day IL. He'll be making his fourth consecutive start Wednesday, this time filling in for a resting Byron Buxton.

Kyle Garlick - Leading off against leftyGarlick will start in left field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

ImpactDespite striking out three times in four plate appearances while starting in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader, Garlick will be elevated to the leadoff spot for the first time this season. The leadoff assignment comes while the Twins are opposing a left-handed starting pitcher (Tarik Skubal), but the righty-hitting Garlick will likely continue to find himself on the bench in most games when Minnesota faces righties.
