Drills first career homer Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an RBI single in Monday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact Jeffers opened the scoring in the third inning by taking Michael Fulmer deep for his first big-league homer. He added an RBI single in the fourth. The rookie has held down the catching duties nicely since being called up Aug. 20, slashing .265/.324/.353 to go along with three RBI. He should continue to receive the bulk of the time behind the dish moving forward.

Takes over as primary catcher Jeffers will start at catcher and will bat ninth Monday against the Tigers.

Impact With Alex Avila (back) joining Mitch Garver (side) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jeffers now sits atop the Twins' depth chart at catcher. The 23-year-old has thus far gotten off to a rough start to his big-league career, slashing .226/.294/.226 over 34 plate appearances.

On bench again Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Sitting for the third time in four games, Jeffers looks to have slipped behind Alex Avila on the depth chart. So long as Mitch Garver (side) remains on the injured list, the righty-hitting Jeffers should at least fill the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Avila.

Retreats to bench Saturday Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader with the Twins

Impact It is quite unusual for Jeffers to be out of the lineup against a southpaw, in this case Matt Boyd, but the Tigers are also starting a lefty in game 2. Jeffers figures to be reinserted into the lineup for the second half of the twin bill while Alex Avila gets the nod behind the plate in the first game.

Picks up another start Jeffers will start at catcher and bat ninth Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Since joining the Twins' active roster Thursday as a replacement for top backstop Mitch Garver (side), Jeffers has now received starts in three of the team's four games. The right-handed-hitting Jeffers, who has gone 2-for-7 with four strikeouts to begin his career, has made two of his three starts against southpaws, so he may not be guaranteed the majority of the work versus right-handed pitching. Instead, lefty-hitting veteran Alex Avila likely ranks as the Twins' top catcher versus righties while Garver is sidelined.
