Kolten Wong - Out of lineup versus leftyWong is on the bench for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Cade Marlowe - On bench FridayMarlowe is not in the lineup Friday versus the Blue Jays.
ImpactMarlowe will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with a walk in his MLB debut Thursday versus the Twins. A.J. Pollock, Julio Rodriguez and Dylan Moore will start across the outfield for the Mariners on Friday against Toronto.

Cal Raleigh - Sitting versus leftyRaleigh is out of the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays.
ImpactTom Murphy will start at catcher and bat fifth versus the Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The switch-hitting Raleigh has slashed just .205/.279/.308 this year versus southpaws.

Jorge Polanco - To get 3B repsPolanco (hamstring) will get reps at third base during his rehab assignment, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ImpactEdouard Julien has been the Twins' best hitter lately, so he may remain the go-to option at second base against right-handed pitching even once Polanco is healthy. Polanco could play third base against righties and second base against southpaws. He is hitting .200 with four strikeouts and two walks through three rehab games.

Edouard Julien - Could stick at keystoneJulien, who is starting at second base and hitting second Friday against the White Sox, got a vote of confidence with the news that Jorge Polanco (hamstring) will get reps at third...
ImpactGiven that Julien is arguably the game's hottest hitter, with a .593 average and three home runs in his last eight games, the Twins probably would have found a spot for him even if Jorge Polanco didn't add third base to his repertoire, but this news is a nice sign that the Twins may have found their second baseman of the present and future in Julien. While he generally hits second against righties, Julien hasn't started against a lefty since June 19.

Willi Castro - Scratched with conjunctivitisCastro was scratched from the lineup Friday against the White Sox due to conjunctivitis, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ImpactDonovan Solano will cover third base instead as Castro grabs some treatment and rest. He'll presumably be able to return to action at some point during the Twins' three-game weekend series versus Chicago.

Christian Vázquez - Not in Friday's lineupVazquez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the White Sox.
ImpactThe Twins will go with Ryan Jeffers behind the plate as the club continues to rotate starts with their catchers since the All-Star break. Vazquez is just 4-for-32 at the plate so far in July.
