Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.
Baldwin temporarily tied the score at 2-2 in the sixth inning with a solo shot off Bailey Ober. The long ball was his first as a major leaguer in his 14th career game. Baldwin shouldn't be expected to hit for much power -- he went deep a modest eight times in 82 games in the minors this season prior to his mid-July call-up -- but he batted .324 and swiped 17 bases during that span, so there's certainly potential for him to be a useful fantasy producer. However, he's struggled against major-league pitchers thus far with a .167/.200/.313 slash line through 50 plate appearances.
