Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Arraez is dealing with shoulder soreness, an issue he picked up this past weekend while sliding into second base.

Champ or Chump: Adolis Garcia

Fantasy managers generally look for certain qualities when evaluating prospects. We like younger players who post dominant numbers on the farm.

Adolis Garcia checks none of […]
