Ryan Jeffers knocks a solo home run to extend the Twins' lead over the Giants

MAY 24, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Gets start in series finale Jeffers will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact Jeffers will step in behind the plate in place of top backstop Christian Vazquez, who is receiving some routine maintenance for the day game after a night game. Though Vazquez has maintained a lowly .565 OPS for the season, Jeffers has yet to gain any major momentum in displacing the former atop the depth chart. Despite carrying a .748 OPS into Wednesday's contest, Jeffers will be making just his fourth start in 10 games.

Goes deep in win Jeffers hit a solo home run in his only at-bat Monday in an 11-1 victory versus Miami.

Impact With the Twins running away in a rout, Jeffers was brought on in the ninth inning to pinch hit for Byron Buxton. Jeffers took advantage of the opportunity, slamming a 417-foot solo homer off Marlins catcher-turned-reliever Jacob Stallings. Jeffers has played in just two games so far this season, but he's gone 3-for-6 with three RBI.

Two hits in season debut Jeffers went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 victory over the Royals.

Impact Jeffers got his first start of the season and picked up where he left off from a hot spring training where he hit three home runs with a .891 OPS. Jeffers will serve as the backup to Christian Vazquez, but could get close to half the playing time.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to split time behind plate Jeffers went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's spring training win over Boston and is hitting .214 (6-for-28) with two home runs and a .790 OPS this spring.

Impact Jeffers' numbers this spring are similar for what to expect during the regular season. He offers some power, an ability to draw walks (9.7% BB%) but a low batting average. Jeffers will split playing time with Christian Vazquez and will likely get the minority of playing time.
