Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old and Christian Vazquez have alternated starts over Minnesota's past 21 games, and that trend will continue after Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer Tuesday.

Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffers' seventh-inning blast briefly tied the game at 4-4 before the Diamondbacks took the lead back a half-inning later. The catcher opened June 0-for-17, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) in that span. He's up to a .236/.323/.482 slash line with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases over 255 plate appearances.

Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

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

EDGE Analysis

With solid counting statistics (12 home runs, two stolen bases, 37 RBI and 28 runs) and a non-toxic batting average (.234), Jeffers has been one of the top fantasy catchers this season, but he's started to lose some of his shine in recent weeks. He's slashing just .153/.240/.259 overall since May 15, and his ongoing struggles at the dish have begun to cost him some playing time. He'll give way Wednesday to Christian Vazquez, who remains the Twins' No. 2 catcher but seems to have moved his way into more of a timeshare with Jeffers behind the dish.

Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffers has yet to make consecutive starts behind the plate this season, and his playing time has slipped lately as he hasn't made a start at designated hitter since June 1. It's been a rough month so far for the 27-year-old, who has gone 3-for-30 through nine contests. Christian Vazquez will step in behind the plate Friday to catch for Simeon Woods Richardson.

Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

He and Christian Vazquez have now alternated starts at catcher over the last seven games for the Twins. Jeffers has slowed down considerably in June with just two hits in his first 22 plate appearances, so perhaps the extra rest will help recharge his batteries.

Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis
