Arraez wasn't in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against Kansas City, but he went 0-for-1 off the bench. He'll serve as the designated hitter and lead off Friday.

Espinal isn't in the lineup Friday against Baltimore, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Polanco (knee) will begin a rehab stint with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

It originally didn't seem like Polanco would need to play any games in the minors before returning, but that is exactly what he will be doing for the next couple days. The infielder's knee has kept him out of action since late August.

Miller isn't in the lineup Friday against the Twins.

Miller drew four consecutive starts this week and went 6-for-15 with a double, a run and two strikeouts across that span. However, he'll be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Josh Naylor starts at first base and bats cleanup.

Arraez (hamstring) isn't starting Thursday against the Royals.

Arraez exited Wednesday's win over the Royals due to hamstring tightness, but he underwent an MRI that came back clean. He's considered day-to-day but will be out of the lineup for at least one matchup while Kyle Garlick serves as the designated hitter and bats leadoff Thursday.

Altuve will receive a rare day off after he hit .364 with five runs, two steals, a walk and five strikeouts over the last five games. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the keystone and bat second Thursday.
