Dozier is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

In a bit of a surprise move, manager Paul Molitor will plug Eduardo Nunez in at second base Friday and bat him atop the order. Dozier has served as the Twins' leadoff man every game this season, but it's been a slow start for the 29-year-old. He's slashing .152/.263/.273 with nine strikeouts in 33 at-bats on the year. Hopefully getting the day off Friday will allow Dozier to refocus and get back in the lineup for Saturday's matchup.
