Kennedy (hamstring) has been confirmed as Saturday's starter against the Twins, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kennedy's hamstring pull towards the end of spring training delayed his first start of the season, pushing him from Game 2 on Tuesday back to Saturday's matchup with the Twins. He'll have the fortune of not having to face the likes of Miguel Sano or Byron Buxton, but Minnesota manager will try to exploit Kennedy by using several left-handed bats in the lineup Saturday.
