Crushes fifth homer in win Kreidler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Colorado.

Impact Kreidler's lone hit proved to be the difference, as he launched a 421-foot solo homer to straightaway center field in the seventh inning to give Minnesota a 3-2 lead it wouldn't relinquish. The 28-year-old has been a surprisingly productive contributor, particularly of late, going 14-for-35 (.400) with two homers, 10 RBI and seven runs scored over his past 15 appearances. On the year, the utility man is slashing .290/.365/.527 with five homers, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored across 104 plate appearances while emerging as a top option at shortstop, largely outplaying Tristan Gray.

Sitting after five straight starts Kreidler is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Kreidler will hit the bench Friday after he went a collective 8-for-19 with a triple, a walk, six RBI and three runs while starting in the Twins' past five games. A lifetime .184/.257/.278 hitter in the big leagues, Kreidler's recent hot stretch at the plate is likely just a blip on the radar, but he could play ahead of Tristan Gray at shortstop more often than not until his bat cools.

Delivers three-hit effort Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Kreidler was in the lineup versus a right-hander for the second game in a row, at the expense of Tristan Gray. With three hits in each of his last two games, Kreidler may be gaining some momentum for a stretch in the lineup at shortstop. On the season, he's hitting .295 with a .920 OPS, four home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, three doubles and two triples over 89 plate appearances. He was also caught stealing Sunday -- he's 0-for-3 on the basepaths this year.

Plates four in win Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Kreidler had a big effort from the bottom of the lineup. The utility man has had trouble getting into the lineup lately, starting just three of the last eight games. He's hitting a .296 (8-for-27) in June with four extra-base hits and nine RBI over 16 games. Overall, he's batting .270 with an .892 OPS, four home runs, two triples, three doubles, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored across 85 plate appearances. Kreidler isn't being strictly platooned, but he's more likely to get into the lineup versus southpaws.

Back on bench Tuesday Kreidler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Kreidler will hit the bench following a stretch of five consecutive starts -- one in center field, four at shortstop -- during which he went 5-for-18 with a home run, a double and four RBI. Though the Twins plan to move Brooks Lee to third base on a full-time basis, Kreidler won't necessarily be in line for regular reps at shortstop. Tristan Gray was reinstated from the paternity list Monday and could end up filling the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with Kreidler. The Twins will go with Gray at shortstop Tuesday while right-hander Sean Burke toes the rubber for the White Sox.

Gets short-term bump in playing time Kreidler will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Kreidler will draw a fourth straight start at shortstop after going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run scored over the previous four contests. His run as a lineup regular is likely to come to an end in short order, however, as Brooks Lee is expected to settle back in as the Twins' everyday third baseman when Tristan Gray (personal) returns from the paternity list Monday.
