  • Resting Thursday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Jeffers will get some maintenance in Thursday's day game after he caught all nine innings of the Twins' 4-0 loss Wednesday night. Christian Vazquez will check in for Jeffers behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:14 am
     
  • Makes return to lineup
    Realmuto (knee) will start at catcher and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Realmuto will re-enter the starting nine after sitting out each of the past three games while managing a sore right knee. Provided he doesn't experience any setbacks in his return to action, Realmuto should resume handling one of the heftier workloads in the league among No. 1 catchers, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies gave him a breather later this week or had him serve as a designated hitter for a game.

  • Produces lone run
    Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Jeffers gave Minnesota the lead with a solo homer as the team's first batter of the game. However, the Twins wouldn't score another run following Jeffers' round tripper, and Jeffers himself struck out in his final three plate appearances. The catcher has now hit double-digit homers in 2024 and is on pace to smash his career high of 14 long balls. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:19 pm
     
  • Jeffers’ homer gives Twins lone run vs. Yankees
    Ryan Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Carlos Rodón’s second pitch of the evening was sent 429 feet into the left field stands by Jeffers, who got the scoring started with a leadoff homer. It was Jeffers’ 10th home run of the season, as he’s well on pace to top his previous career high of 14 before the all-star break. Jeffers is now slashing .278/.308/.806 in the month of May with five homers and 13 RBI. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:34 pm
     
  • Expected back Wednesday
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that he expects Realmuto (knee) to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Realmuto missed a third straight start Tuesday because of right knee soreness. However, he got in a productive workout pregame, and as long as he doesn't have any sort of setback, it appears he'll be back in there for Wednesday's tilt in Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:34 pm
