Impact Lee could make the Opening Day roster and work around the infield as he may be a better option with the glove at third base, but the Twins have decided for now to keep Royce Lewis at the hot corner. It's possible Lee could also begin the season in the minors after posted just a .580 OPS last season in the majors over 50 games. His ability to secure a starting spot or a reserve role will be a key job battle for Minnesota this spring.

After first taste of majors, Brooks Lee looks to show Twins what he's capable of Brooks Lee, one of the most exciting young players in the Twins’ organization, is battling for a roster spot this spring.

Back on bench Thursday Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

Impact The switch-hitting Lee had started in each of the Twins' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench for a second straight matchup with a lefty (Joey Cantillo). Though Carlos Correa looks poised to serve as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch following his recent activation from the injured list, Lee could factor into the mix for playing time at second base, where Minnesota has been rotating three players (Lee, Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer) of late. Super-utility man Willi Castro is typically picking up starts out of the outfield but could settle in as the primary option at the keystone once outfielder Max Kepler (knee) returns from the injured list.

Falls into reserve role Lee is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Lee is on the bench for the second time in three games and looks to have moved into a utility role following Carlos Correa's return from the injured list Saturday. With Correa set to reclaim an everyday role at shortstop, Lee could see more opportunities at second base moving forward, though the Twins appear to be favoring a lefty/righty platoon of Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer for the time being.

Lands on IL with biceps tendinitis The Twins placed Lee on the 10-day injured list Friday with right biceps tendinitis, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lee recently missed some time with what had been referred to as right shoulder soreness, but there's now a different diagnosis and it's an injury bad enough to sideline him at least for the next 10 days. The rookie had seen most of his playing time of late at shortstop while Carlos Correa (heel) was out, but that job now should go to Willi Castro, with Austin Martin and Kyle Farmer mixing in at second base.
