Brian Dozier went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles. Dozier continues to fill the stat sheet atop the surprising Twins lineup. The two stolen bases gives him 11 stolen bases on the year, best in the American League. He also leads the AL with 31 runs scored. There's not much he doesn't do these days.

Brian Dozier went 1-for-4 with two walks and two stolen bases as the Twins lost in 12 innings to the Dodgers on Thursday. Dozier is now 8-for-9 in the stolen base department. Though his average is only .226, he has been getting on base and hitting for a fair amount of power, with 21 walks and seven home runs in 129 plate appearances. Dozier has certainly been a surprise performer among second baseman in the first month-plus of the season.

Brian Dozier belted his seventh home run of the season in a losing effort against the Tigers on Friday. The sixth inning shot off Rick Porcello was his only hit in five at-bats on the season. He's hitting just .222/.349/.467 on the season, but fantasy owners will gladly trade the lack of batting average for the seven long balls, nine RBI and six stolen bases that he's provided already.

Brian Dozier went 3-for-6 with a run scored in Sunday's win over the Royals. Dozier's .219 batting average isn't anything to write home about, but he's done an awfully nice job setting the table for the Twins thus far this year. The second baseman is first in the American League with 19 runs scored, and he's now got a .341 on-base percentage through 18 games.

Brian Dozier launched his fourth home run of the season in Saturday's win over the Royals. It was his second leadoff homer in the past week. He drove in two runs on the day. Dozier is now tied with Jose Abreu of the White Sox and Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays for the American League lead in home runs. Half of his hits have left the yard this season, as he's hitting .182 (8-for-44) through 11 games. Fantasy owners aren't complaining.

Brian Dozier went 0-for-4 with a strikeout and a walk in Monday's loss to the Athletics. Dozier had a three-hit game last Friday and a homer the day after that, but he's been hitless in his other five contests. He has drawn six walks, helping to keep his OBP afloat at .314. Still, he's hitting just .143/.314/.286 overall and will need to pick it up if he wants to remain in the leadoff spot.

Brian Dozier went 0-for-6 as the Twins' leadoff man in Wednesday's loss. Dozier slumped this spring, coming in at .232/.283/.393 in 56 at-bats, and he's off to an 0-for-10 start in games that count. The Twins certainly aren't going to bench him, but they will have to move him down in the order if this lingers on for too long.
