Jeffers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers had started behind the plate in each of the Twins' last four games, so he'll be getting a routine breather Thursday as Minnesota closes out its series against the Athletics with a day game. Mickey Gasper will handle catching duties for the Twins and will form a battery with starting pitcher Jose Urena.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers isn't part of the starting nine for the first time in 15 games, yielding to Mickey Gasper behind the dish while Trevor Larnach fills in at DH. Jeffers is hitless in his last 11 at-bats, a stretch that began immediately after he posted a 12-game hit streak.

The Twins reinstated Jeffers (personal) from the paternity list, and he's out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers has been away from the team for the past few days in order to be with his growing family, but he's back with the Twins for Tuesday's contest. Christian Vazquez will start behind the plate, with Jeffers likely to rejoin the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Minnesota while Jeffers receives a breather after starting the previous two contests. After going 0-for-18 in his previous six games, Jeffers broke out of his slump Saturday with three base hits.

Jeffers went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers was hitting just .063 (2-for-32) in his previous 11 games before Saturday. He remains the Twins' top option behind the plate, but Jeffers could fall into more of a timeshare with Christian Vazquez if he's unable to build on the three-hit performance.
