Kyle Garlick Stats

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick is in Tuesday's starting lineup versus left-hander Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Garlick had his contract selected from Triple-A recently and while he's made just four trips to the plate since, one of those plate appearances resulted in a home run. Unsurprisingly, the homer came off a left-handed pitcher as Garlick has made his big-league living mashing southpaw pitching. The 31-year-old has crushed lefties to the tune of a massive .299 isolated power alongside an .853 OPS, figures that are astronomically superior to his work against righties. He always makes sense as a streaming option against a lefty while he's yet to face Sale in his career.

The Minnesota Twins called up outfielder Kyle Garlick from Triple-A St. Paul to take shortstop Kyle Farmer's (jaw) spot on the roster. The Twins also moved outfielder Gilberto Celestino (thumb) to the 60-day injured list. Garlick, a right-handed hitter, could see some playing time in Minnesota's outfield against left-handed pitchers, but he shouldn't be on the radar of those in mixed fantasy leagues. The 31-year-old has a career slash line of just .229/.281/.439 with a .720 OPS, 17 home runs and 37 RBI in 144 games played over his four major-league seasons. Before the call-up, Garlick had two home runs in the minor leagues.
