Keon Broxton News
Minnesota Twins outfielder Keon Broxton was reassigned to the team's minor league campsite on Saturday. The team also sent down infielders Rob Refsnyder, Tzu-Wei Lin, J.T. Riddle, and catcher Tomas Telis. Broxton was initially thought to be a possible factor in the team's outfield plans in 2021 after a strong spring that saw him bat .320 with two doubles, a home run, and five RBI in 19 games, though the battle for the left-field spot seems to be down to Brent Rooker and Kyle Garlick, with Jake Cave expected to make the team. Utility man Willians Astudillo, who has been swinging a hot bat this spring, seems destined to find a spot on the Opening Day roster after today's news.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Keon Broxton has been handling the bat very well this spring. A non-roster invitee, Broxton is currently batting .625 in six games with five hits, three runs, three RBI, and a stolen base. The 30-year-old has been getting the barrel of the bat on the ball and crushing it, as his three-run homer Sunday traveled 419 feet at an exit velocity of 110.1 MPH. Broxton has been known more as a defender in his career- though he did hit 20 homers and steal 21 bases with the Brewers in 2017. He could make the Opening Day roster if he keeps hitting like this, though it's no sure thing with Alex Kirilloff, Brent Rooker, Jake Cave, and Kyle Garlick also in the mix.
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton has been absent from the team due to a personal matter, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Broxton isn't currently in camp, but general manager David Stearns said Thursday that the team expects that he'll be back soon. The 30-year-old is competing for a spot with the major league club. Broxton really doesn't hold much fantasy value, as he's known more for his defense, not his bat. He's avoidable in most leagues.
