Gunnar Henderson Singles In Loss To Twins
Gunnar Henderson went 1-for-5 with a single in his team's 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The Alabama native has had some trouble getting going this season, but he's collected at least one hit in 11 of 12 contests, including nine in a row before Tuesday's outing. It's an encouraging stretch, though he's only recorded one extra-base hit since the calendar turned to May (double). After getting moved out of the leadoff spot about a month ago, he found himself back there against the Twins on Thursday. While the former second-round pick hasn't been downright dreadful, he's still not performing like a first-round pick in fantasy -- a price many managers paid this offseason. A silver lining is that he's hitting the ball harder on average thus far (94.4 MPH average exit velocity), and could still be shaking off the rust of his limited spring training.
