Player Outlook
Ryan Jeffers had another solid season as Minnesota's primary catcher even with a decline in home runs. Jeffers hit just nine home runs but saw increases in his hard-hit, exit velocity and other advanced power metrics. His 7.0% HR/FB% also indicates he was a bit unlucky and could bounce back to 15-20 homers. His decline in power was offset by a career-best 10.8% walk rate. Jeffers struggles with his defense where he took a step back last season with -10 defensive runs saved, placing him 31st among qualified catchers. Still, his bat more than offsets his defense and he'll return as the primary catcher. The Twins had dogmatically split playing time between two catchers but Jeffers could see an uptick with the departure of Christian Vazquez.

    Rotowire
    Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.
