Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Swats ninth homer
Rotowire
Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.
The backstop took Parker Messick deep in the top of the first inning for his ninth long ball of the season, but it was the only lead the Twins would hold in the game. Jeffers missed nearly two months after undergoing surgery on a fractured hamate bone in May, but he hasn't shown much rust since returning just before the All-Star break, going 5-for-21 (.238) in six games with two doubles and two homers.
Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.
Jeffers had started each of the last four tilts -- including three at catcher -- so he'll get some rest Monday. Victor Caratini will be behind the dish in the series opener.
Jeffers isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
After going 1-for-4 with a double and a walk during his return from the injured list Friday, Jeffers will take a seat Saturday as he eases his way back into major-league action. Victor Caratini will start behind the plate and bat sixth.
The Twins activated Jeffers (hand) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Jeffers suffered a fractured left hamate bone May 18 and has missed the last 46 games, but he appears ready to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Angels. Jeffers was on a tear at the plate before going down, slashing .295/.408/.541 with seven homers, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base and a 23:23 BB:K across 148 trips to the dish.
Twins manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday that Jeffers (hand) will remain on his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul "for at least the next three or four days," Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Jeffers has shown no signs of rust offensively in his first four rehab contests, going 6-for-13 with a pair of home runs. However, he has yet to catch back-to-back games, and the Twins want Jeffers to build up his workload behind the dish before returning to the active roster. With only five games remaining for the Twins before the All-Star break, it seems the club will wait until the start of the second half before activating its catcher. Jeffers has been out since late May following surgery for a fractured left hamate bone.
