Chris Colabello
1B FA
Colabello was named "Batter of the Week" in the International League after going 14-for-30 with five extra-base hits (three home runs and two doubles) for Triple-A Buffalo.
Colabello is having a very strong season in the minors thus far, hitting for a .367/.433/.650 slash line in 16 games with five home runs and 15 RBI. With how well Kevin Pillar and Dalton Pompey have been playing, coupled with the return of Michael Saunders, it will be difficult for Colabello to find a spot on the major league roster, but if he keeps up his strong form at the plate, he may end up forcing his way into the big leagues. Last season, he played in 59 games for the Twins, hitting for a .229/.282/.380 slash line, so fantasy owners will likely want to wait for him to get called up and then see how the 31-year-old performs before rostering him.
