Ryan Jeffers Stats

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers had the most productive day of his career at the plate in Wednesday's loss to the Tigers. Jeffers clubbed a grand slam in the fourth inning, then followed it up with a two-run shot in the eighth, both homers registering exit velocities of 100 MPH or greater. The 24-year-old backstop could draw several more starts in the coming days with Mitch Garver (hand) banged up after being hit by a pitch. Jeffers has been a streaky hitter this season but has solid upside when he's on at the dish, as evidenced by a June stretch where he swatted five homers in 15 games.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers produced the first three-hit game of his career in Friday's win over the Angels. Jeffers rapped a pair of doubles and a single, which tied the game in the eighth inning. The 24-year-old backstop was red-hot to start June but has cooled off since, sporting .203/.286/.384 slash line. Jeffers is getting a couple of extra starts with Mitch Garver on paternity leave, though he'll likely return to a backup role when the former is back in action, giving him limited fantasy value.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (knee) exited Sunday's game with a left knee contusion, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. It does not sound like this will be a major concern for Jeffers, and with the All-Star break this week it's possible he will not have to miss any time at all. While that's good news for the Twins, it doesn't mean much to fantasy managers, as Jeffers is slashing just .190/.282/.388 with six home runs, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored over 35 games this year. Any value that he has will come in two-catcher formats or deeper mixed and AL-only leagues.
