Ryan Jeffers News
Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers will get the start behind the plate for Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Jeffers is currently 1-for-4 this year, with a loud pinch-hit single in Sunday's game. The 23-year-old will be behind the dish for the second time this season, as manager Rocco Baldelli seems trending towards a near-even split between Jeffers and starter Mitch Garver. Fortunately, this shouldn't be too detrimental to Garver's value, so long as he continues to swing the bat well- he collected two hits and a homer on Sunday. Garver caught 82 games in his breakout 2019 season and is seemingly in line for that number if he's in an even timeshare with Jeffers.
Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to Tampa Bay. Jeffers homered in his second at-bat of the day, then lined a single in his third at-bat to finish what was an impressive day for the 23-year-old backstop. MLB.com's Do Hyoung-Park notes that while Jeffers will be splitting time with fellow catcher Mitch Garver, it's a position with a fair amount of upside in the Twins strong lineup. Jeffers owns a .836 OPS with 21 homers in 167 career minor league games. He profiles as a superior pitch-framer to Garver, which should earn him a reasonable amount of playing time, though Garver's bat has more upside.
