Brooks Lee Heats Up at the Plate Amid Infield Defensive Shifting
Brooks Lee has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .286 with three home runs and 10 RBIs over his last 14 days. This surge comes as a bright spot for the third-place Twins, who are currently mired in a five-game losing streak with a 27-33 record. While news reports highlight a shift to third base, the active depth chart still lists him as Minnesota's primary starting shortstop, keeping his playing time secure.
This recent power surge is highly encouraging compared to our season projection of 10 home runs and a .245 batting average. Having already swatted eight homers this season, Lee is easily pacing to surpass his career high of 16. While his current .255 mark is a major step up from his career baseline, expect some moderate regression toward our projected .245 rest-of-season clip.
Minnesota plays a full seven-game home slate this week, starting with three against Chicago before hosting Kansas City. He faces tough early-week matchups against David Sandlin (1.50 ERA) and Davis Martin (2.00 ERA) but gets relief later against Erick Fedde (5.40 ERA) and Noah Cameron (4.61 ERA). With steady volume on tap, he is a recommended Start in medium-to-deep formats.
