Brooks Lee Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee is suddenly up to a career-high 22 home runs entering play on Thursday after homering again in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Athletics. In his last 11 games, the switch-hitting infielder has hit .319 (15-for-47) with a .930 OPS, four home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI, and eight runs scored to boost his overall 2026 slash line to .250/.299/.435 with a .734 OPS, 77 RBI, 62 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in his second full season in the big leagues. The 25-year-old former eighth overall pick from Cal Poly in 2022 has been much better as a lefty against right-handed pitchers, going 91-for-345 (.264) with 19 of his 22 homers, as opposed to a .218 average (34-for-156) with just three long balls as a right-handed hitter against southpaws. With eligibility at second base, third base, and shortstop, Lee is also valuable for his infield versatility in fantasy baseball, and he's available in 40% of Yahoo leagues with the playoffs approaching quickly.

Across 512 plate appearances in 2026, Minnesota Twins third baseman/shortstop Brooks Lee is hitting .247/.299/.437 with 21 home runs, 70 RBI, 59 runs scored, and seven stolen bases. The 25-year-old has outperformed his underlying batted-ball metrics, as he's posted subpar barrel (4.1%) and hard-hit (32.8%) rates. However, Lee consistently puts the ball in play. He's struck out in just 16.2% of his plate appearances and hits the ball in the air a ton, which gives him opportunities to put it over the fence. Perhaps most importantly for fantasy managers, Lee is locked into everyday playing time in Minnesota and has been both consistent and durable so far this season. With his balanced production profile, Lee can easily fly under the radar but should be a priority waiver wire target in any league where he is available.

Minnesota Twins shortstop/third baseman Brooks Lee has been a key contributor for the Twins this season and has climbed from the bottom of the lineup to the second spot in the batting order. Through 89 games, the 25-year-old switch-hitter is hitting .252 with 14 homers, 13 doubles, and 55 RBI. Last season, he had 16 homers, but needed 139 games to get there with a .286 wOBA. This season, his wOBA is up to .323, and he has hit eight homers in his last 34 games with a .340 wOBA since May 31. He's added five stolen bases as well, and his solid overall counting stats can be a big boost to your roster if you need help on the left side of the infield. While his contact metrics won't blow anyone away, his consistent, solid production and premium spot near the top of the batting order make him a well-rounded addition from the waiver wire or via trade to fortify your infield.

Minnesota Twins manager Derek Shelton confirmed that infielder Brooks Lee is the team's primary third baseman going forward after Royce Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. "Once we made the move to option Royce, we talked about what was best for our club right now. We felt moving Brooks to third was the best thing for our club," Shelton said. Lee will occasionally play some shortstop, but he will mostly see time at the hot corner. It's not like Lee was great defensively at the 6, and he has made four straight starts at third since Lewis was sent to the minors. Top prospect Kaelen Culpepper could force his way to the big leagues soon and take over duties at shortstop in Minnesota, but until that happens, it will be Ryan Kreidler at short for the Twins. Lee, a 25-year-old switch-hitter in his third year in the majors, is currently slashing .254/.309/.395 with a career-best .704 OPS, five homers, 26 RBI, 22 runs, and three steals across 49 games played. He has eligibility at second, third, and shortstop in Yahoo leagues and is rostered in 25% of those formats.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Brooks Lee has emerged as a potential waiver wire addition in fantasy baseball as managers look for midseason upgrades. One of Lee's biggest strengths is his role; he has played at shortstop nearly every day for the Twins, logging 46 games and 178 plate appearances so far in 2026. He's also having a fair season at the plate, slashing .248/.299/.388 with five home runs, three steals, a 6% walk rate, an 18% strikeout rate, and 92 wRC+. While he's hitting a bit below average, that slash line, walk rate, and wRC+ also represent the best marks of his young career. Because he has flashed modest power and slightly improved on-base skills, Lee has waiver wire appeal in deeper fantasy leagues. With a roster share of 26%, Lee, who is eligible at third, second, and shortstop, remains available for infielder-needy managers in most leagues.

The Athletic's Dan Hayes writes that Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee is the "leader to start at shortstop" this year, but he needs to "show improved mobility and find more consistency with his bat." Lee has good hands and a steady arm, but he was below-average as both a hitter and defender in his second year in the big leagues in 2025. The 24-year-old switch-hitter and former eighth overall pick slashed just .236/.285/.370 with a .654 OPS, 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 50 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 139 games last year. With no sure options behind Lee at the position now that Carlos Correa is gone, the Twins could be in a serious bind if Lee doesn't show improvement in 2026. Ryan Kreidler and Orlando Arcia are the top internal options behind Lee. The good news for Lee is that he made contact 81.1% of the time and showed decent power, but he had just a 28% hard-hit rate and doesn't have much speed.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Brooks Lee went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Astros. This was his second straight game with a home run and his 15th straight game with at least one hit. The 15-game hitting streak is the longest active in the majors, and he's now slashing .267/.303/.405 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, and 18 runs in 55 games. The 24-year-old has become one of Minnesota's most consistent batters, and he is a solid middle or corner infield option for deep fantasy leagues with both second base and third base eligibility.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Brooks Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in his team's 6-3 victory over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. He also singled, drew a walk, and struck out. The 24-year-old went yard to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning and knot the game at 3-3 before teammate Christian Vazquez took Bowden Francis deep to go back-to-back and give the Twins their second and final lead of the contest. Lee extended his hit streak to ten games in this one, and has gone a cool .317 (13-for-41) over that stretch. He's notched just two extra-base hits over that time, but has driven in six runs and scored five of his own while chipping in one steal. The Cal Poly product is producing a better sample than he did in 2024, up to a .250/.291/.364 triple slash through 49 games.

Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee (back) was activated off the injured list prior to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. He is set to make his season debut this afternoon against the Tigers. He will bat eighth and cover the hot corner. In a corresponding move, the Twins optioned infielder Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul. Miranda enjoyed a productive 2024 season, posting a .284/.322/.441 slash line but was unable to find his footing early in the 2025 campaign. Through the first 12 games, he has held a .167 AVG with just one extra-base hit. Fantasy managers should expect Lee to see several opportunities in the starting nine on a daily basis, given his ability to play third base, second base, and shortstop. Last summer, Lee held a .221/.265/.320 line during his rookie campaign.

Minnesota Twins second baseman/third baseman Brooks Lee (back) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday before the Twins wrap up their series with the Tigers. Lee will take the roster spot of Jose Miranda, who was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday after a tough start to the season. Lee had a solid spring training and looked ready for an everyday role in the infield before landing on the 10-day injured list with lower back tightness. He only hit .221 with three homers and three stolen bases in 50 games in the majors last year but hit .331 with eight homers in the minor leagues in 2023. He went 3-for-13 with one walk on his rehab assignment, but the Twins are moving him quickly back into the lineup since they're looking for answers on offense after struggling to a 4-11 start to the season.
