Jake Cave Fantasy

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave recorded three hits in three at-bats of Thursday's tie with the Blue Jays. Cave doubled twice and homered to right field in the top half of the third inning. The 27-year-old is looking at the role of utility outfielder- though that could come with decent fantasy value- especially if starting center fielder Byron Buxton isn't fully recovered from shoulder surgery by Opening Day. In two big league seasons, Cave has compiled a 162-game average of 21 home runs, 27 doubles, and 70 RBI with a .262/.329/.466 slash line.

After starting Minnesota's last 12 games, Twins outfielder Jake Cave will get the night off on Saturday, as Minnesota takes on the Detroit Tigers and Matthew Boyd. Cave went 0-for-five last night but has been red-hot over his last seven games, slashing .304/.407/1.043 with five home runs, seven RBI, and eight runs scored. Look for Cave to return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon, when the Twin finish their series in Detroit against Spencer Turnbull.

Minnesota Twins second-year outfielder Jake Cave kept up his hot streak on Friday night, hitting two home runs in a 9-6 losing effort against the Tigers. The two solo-shots give Cave four home runs on the year and over the last ten games, he's slashing .485/.541/.788 with a 250 wRC+. Keep spelunking with him while you can because his rope may soon be cut by the knife of regression, as Cave is also running an unsustainable .778 BABIP over those 37 plate appearances.
