Twins vs. White Sox: Public Bettors Love Minnesota in Opener

Correa expects to return Monday night
Carlos Correa (finger) told reporters after Sunday’s game that he expects to return to the Twins’ starting lineup on Monday. Correa was pulled from Sunday’s game after being hit by a pitch, but fortunately X-rays came back negative for any structural damage and he’s merely dealing with a right finger contusion. If the 29-year-old shortstop says that he’s good enough to play on Monday, then chances are he’ll be in the Twins’ lineup for their series opener against the White Sox in Chicago.
Sosa has two-hit day in loss to Marlins
Lenyn Sosa went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Marlins on Sunday. It’s gone under the radar but Sosa has been solid of late, going 17-for-54 (.315) over his last 15 games with two home runs and seven RBI. He’s striking out just 15% of the time and playing every day, so the recent hot stretch could certainly put him on the radar in deeper formats, but he may not last long on your roster.
