When Luis Arraez was carted off the field last weekend in Kansas City, few people thought he'd be back on the field for the Twins-Yankees series, which starts tonight at 6:07 p.m.
NEW YORK -- The Twins have posted their lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series (6:07 p.m., MLB Network ).
Luis Arraez, who made the team's 25-man playoff roster, is the surprise starter at 2B ... surprise in that we thought righthanded hitting Jonathan Schoop would be there against Yankees lefthanderJames Paxton.
Otherwise, a pretty typical order against lefties.

The Twins have been keen on drafting shortstops with their top picks in recent years, and Marek Houston might actually stick at the position.
