Jeffers (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffers' absence from the lineup comes as little surprise after he was removed from Tuesday's 6-5 loss when he was struck in his throwing hand by a foul ball. Fortunately for Jeffers, he was diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays on his hand returned negative, so the Twins are viewing him as day-to-day and are optimistic he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Christian Vazquez will draw the start behind the plate Wednesday after he came on to replace Jeffers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
Jeffers left the game in the top of the fifth inning after a foul ball struck his hand. He's day to day and will likely need a day off. Christian Vazquez replaced him at catcher in the contest and is likely to start Wednesday as a result.
