• On bench for nightcap
    Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: Jeffers will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 in the team's 6-2 win over Oakland in Game 1. Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:56 pm
     
  • Receiving Friday off
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Jeffers has yet to make consecutive starts behind the plate this season, and his playing time has slipped lately, as he hasn't made a start at designated hitter since June 1. It's been a rough month so far for the 27-year-old, who has gone 3-for-30 through nine contests. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate Friday to catch for Simeon Woods Richardson.

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

    Advice: Jeffers started at catcher in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, so he will get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Christian Vazquez will be behind the plate for the rubber game of the series. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:50 am
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

    Advice: He and Christian Vazquez have now alternated starts at catcher over the last seven games for the Twins. Jeffers has slowed down considerably in June with just two hits in his first 22 plate appearances, so perhaps the extra rest will help recharge his batteries. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:40 pm
