"Twins Trade Nick Gordon to Marlins in Salary Arbitration Fallout"

"Twins face infield challenges with Polanco and Kirilloff injuries"

Minnesota Twins' second baseman Jorge Polanco will start the season on the injured list due to a slow recovery from a left knee injury. The Twins have several options to replace him, including Nick Gordon, Kyle Farmer, and Donovan Solano for a platoon setup, and prospect Edouard Julien if Polanco's absence stretches well into the season. Top prospects Brooks Lee, Royce Lewis, and Austin Martin could also emerge as second base options in the second half if Polanco is still sidelined.
