Alan Roden News: Taking seat against southpaw

Roden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Joey Cantillo on the hill for Cleveland, Roden could be in line for regular at-bats against righties, at least until one or both of Byron Buxton (rib) and Luke Keaschall (forearm) come off the injured list. After being acquired from the Blue Jays on Thursday, Roden started Minnesota's first two games in Cleveland, going 1-for-10 with a double and a run scored while striking out six times.
