Ryan Jeffers Stats

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. This doesn't appear to be injury related at all, so probably just a routine rest day for Jeffers. The 26-year-old saw his three-game hitting streak come to an end on Thursday. In his absence, Christian Vazquez will cover behind the plate and bat seventh versus right-hander Kodai Senga on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (back) has returned to catching duties on Sunday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander Ryan Borucki, and he is batting seventh in the lineup. Back soreness kept Jeffers out of action in the team's last two games, but he'll be back in there on Sunday for the series finale against Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old backstop has been hot for the Twins and fantasy managers in two-catcher leagues so far this month, going 11-for-40 (.275) with four home runs, three doubles, nine RBI and six runs scored in 11 starts for Minnesota. On the season, Jeffers has hit .280 (56-for-200) with nine long balls, 25 RBI, three stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 237 plate appearances and 71 games in his fourth season with the Twins.

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This marks the second game in a row Jeffers has missed. The 26-year-old was a late scratch from Friday's contest due to back soreness. The team is hopeful it's only a day-to-day issue, so Jeffers won't go on the injured list yet. In the meantime, Christian Vazquez will cover behind the plate and bat eighth versus right-hander Mitch Keller on Saturday.
