Homers in win Jeffers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Jeffers blew Saturday's game wide open early with a three-run homer off St. Louis starter Jake Woodford in the third inning. This is the catcher's second consecutive outstanding performance, as he now has three home runs and nine RBI in his last two games. With Mitch Garver back from the paternity list and a hand injury, however, Jeffers could see his playing time reduced.

Smacks grand slam Jeffers went 2-for-4 with two home runs, six RBI and two walks Wednesday against Detroit.

Impact Jeffers began his standout effort by clubbing a grand slam in the fourth inning. He followed that up with a two-run shot four frames later, which brought his home run total on the season to eight. Jeffers is predominantly limited to backup catcher duties behind Mitch Garver, though he has seen increased playing time of late due to Garver's placement on paternity leave and a subsequent hand injury that has cost him a chance to start Wednesday. For the season, Jeffers has a .205/.293/.418 line across 164 plate appearances.

Lions-Vikings? Naw, Tigers top Twins by NFL-like 17-14 final

Jeimer Candelario and Eric Haase each drove in three runs and the Detroit Tigers, despite giving up seven homers and not hitting any, outlasted the Minnesota Twins 17-14

Reverts to No. 2 role Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Mitch Garver is back with the Twins after a three-game absence due to a stint on the paternity list, so Jeffers will settle back in as Minnesota's No. 2 catcher. Jeffers drew five consecutive starts to close out last week, going 4-for-17 with two doubles and an RBI in those contests.

Provides game-tying hit Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels.

Impact The catcher displayed some power with his pair of doubles, but it was his RBI single in the eighth inning that tied the game at 4-4. An error on the play allowed the go-ahead run to score as well. Jeffers has posted seven multi-hit efforts in 42 games, but he's slashing only .203/.286/.384 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored. The 24-year-old will likely return to a backup role when Mitch Garver returns from the paternity list.

Shifting to backup role Jeffers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact After Mitch Garver (groin) returned from the 10-day injured list with a two-homer game in the second half of Monday's doubleheader, Jeffers' time as Minnesota's No. 1 catcher appears to be over. Even while he benefited from a full-time role for much of the past two months, Jeffers was only providing low-end fantasy value. Jeffers has slashed .207/.305/.446 with six home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs in 28 games since the beginning of June.

Returns for nightcap Jeffers (knee) is batting sixth and catching in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact Thanks to the All-Star break, Jeffers has had nearly a week to recover from a left knee contusion. Before the injury, he hit .161 with two home runs, four RBI and eight walks in his last 10 games.

JULY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday afternoon Jeffers (knee) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact A left knee contusion forced the 24-year-old's exit from Sunday's contest against Detroit. It's unclear whether Jeffers is still dealing with the knee injury, or if he's just scheduled to catch the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader. Ben Rortvedt is batting eight and catching the afternoon game.

Blasts sixth home run Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, walk and strikeout as Minnesota defeated Detroit, 5-3 on Thursday.

Impact Jeffers got the Twins on the board with his solo home run off Detroit starter Tarik Skubal in the fifth and later walked in the eighth to reach base eight times in his last 21 plate appearances. During those five games, the backstop has raised his OBP from .262 to .281.

Sitting Monday Jeffers is not starting Monday's series opener against the White Sox.
