Minnesota Twins pitcher Trevor May will serve as the opener against the Astros on Tuesday. May has a tidy 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 22 K's in 14 1/3 innings of work in the big leagues this year, but he hasn't made any starts. That means he won't stay in the game long enough to earn a decision. The matchup against the Astros isn't the best, either. Stay away from May in fantasy leagues.

It's unclear whether or not the Twins plan on using May in the rotation or bullpen. He's only thrown 30 innings this season and walked 19 batters in that time. He should be left on the waiver wire.
