Who’s in & who’s out?

The Dodgers will still be without veteran right fielder Jason Heyward as he recovers from a stiff back. They will continue to be without right-handed relief pitchers Brusdar Graterol and Blake Treinen as they recover from their injuries. 

The Twins will be without a few arms and bats in this series as to start the year, the injury bug has hit them. 

However, the two most prominent players out for this series are closer Jhoan Duran and 3B Royce Lewis, who injured his quad last week.
