Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Racks up four hits Saturday
Jeffers went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Saturday's 7-0 win against the Brewers.
Jeffers gave Minnesota an early lead with a 420-foot solo blast in the first inning. He added three more knocks to log his first four-hit game of the campaign. The veteran catcher is hitting well with a .270/.350/.418 slash line through 137 plate appearances on the season. However, he's gone deep just three times after slugging 21 home runs last year.

Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 11-1 win at Cleveland.
Jeffers slugged his first home run of the season in the eighth inning off position-player pitcher Will Wilson. The Minnesota catcher has started to show signs of life lately, as he's hitting .333 (8-for-24) with three doubles, five RBI and three runs scored over his last six games. Overall, Jeffers is slashing .257/.353/.392 across 85 plate appearances.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Set for heavier workload
Manager Rocco Baldelli said Thursday that Jeffers will operate as more of an everyday catcher going forward, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Jeffers and Christian Vazquez each made 81 starts behind the plate last season, and they've had a fairly even split of playing time early in 2025 with 14 and 11 starts, respectively. Vazquez's continued offensive struggles (career .581 OPS with Minnesota) will finally prompt a strategy change, with Jeffers now poised to operate as more of a clear No. 1 catcher. The 27-year-old hasn't been particularly productive through 67 plate appearances himself with a .254/.343/.339 slash line, but he had a .732 OPS in 2024 and carries more upside than Vazquez.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Sitting out Saturday
Jeffers (thumb) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Jeffers ended Friday's contest with a bloody thumb that later began to swell, per Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, so he'll take a seat Saturday while Christian Vazquez picks up a second consecutive start behind the plate. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Jeffers may still be available off the bench Saturday, so it doesn't seem like the 27-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list.

Jeffers went 1-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 9-0 loss to the White Sox.
Jeffers took a break from catching duties Monday to serve as the designated hitter, and he was responsible for one of the Twins' two hits Monday.
