Player Outlook
Ryan Jeffers recorded career-highs in games played (122) and home runs (21) as he avoided previous injury issues and served as Minnesota's primary catcher. Jeffers stirred All-Star game talk with a hot start where he hit 12 home runs with a .892 OPS though his first 51 games. He faded in the second half by hitting seven home runs with a .632 OPS in his final 47 games. Jeffers had shown above-average power his previous few seasons, but his hard-hit, exit velocity and other power metrics declined despite his home run totals. He still had above-average bat speed (67th percentile per Baseball Savant), so there's hope for a rebound. Jeffers also took a step back behind the plate where his pitch framing and other defensive metrics were below average. Still, the Twins will count on his bat as power source as the team's primary catcher again. However, Minnesota is dogmatic about sharing playing time between two catchers behind the plate, which limits his counting stats upside.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Reaches base thrice Monday

    Rotowire
    Jeffers went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 9-0 loss to the White Sox. Jeffers took a break from catching duties Monday to serve as the designated hitter, and he was responsible for one of the Twins' two hits Monday.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Serving as DH on Monday

    Rotowire
    Jeffers will start at designated hitter and bat third in Monday's game against the White Sox. With the Twins kicking off their three-game series in Chicago with a day game, Jeffers will get a break from catching duties after he was behind the plate for eight innings in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Cardinals. However, the Twins will keep Jeffers' bat in the lineup by using him at DH, while the lefty-hitting Matt Wallner takes a seat against White Sox lefty Martin Perez.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Back on bench Monday

    Rotowire
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta. After leaving late in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Cardinals due to a right hand injury, Jeffers returned to the lineup for the series finale Sunday, catching all nine innings of the Twins' 3-2 loss. The Twins haven't indicated that Jeffers emerged from the contest with any sort of setback, as his absence from the lineup a day later is likely just a result of him being in a near-even timeshare behind the plate with Christian Vazquez, who draws the starting nod Monday.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Clean X-rays on right hand

    Rotowire
    X-rays on Jeffers' injured right hand were negative, MLB.com reports. He did not play in Saturday's game after being removed late in Friday's game due to the injury. "He was having a little trouble gripping the bat downstairs, so we got him out of the game," manager Rocco Baldelli said. "That was why he came out. But he should be OK going forward." Jeffers was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of Friday's loss to St. Louis due to a sore hand. He took balls off his hand twice while behind the plate but was able to continue playing defense. It sounds like he could return to the lineup Sunday, but he may need another day or two off.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

  • Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Does damage early

    Rotowire
    Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers. Jeffers made an impact early in the contest, hitting a two-run homer in the first inning and an RBI single in the third. The catcher has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers and five RBI in that span. That constitutes a warm spell for Jeffers, and it's come at a good time, as fellow catcher Christian Vazquez entered Sunday on an eight-game hitting streak before snapping it with a strikeout as a pinch hitter. The Twins continue to evenly split the playing time for their catchers. Jeffers has offered more power with 19 homers, 18 doubles and a .464 slugging percentage while batting .231 with 57 RBI, 45 runs scored and three stolen bases over 94 contests this season.
