Chris Colabello went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts against the Red Sox on Monday and is 7-for-52 with 23 strikeouts this month.

As a result of his early barrage, Colabello is still in the top 10 in baseball with 30 RBI. However, just three of them have come in May. At this point, he looks like a weak link for the Twins, and there'd be a good case for demoting him to make room for the returning Josh Willingham.

Chris Colabello went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Indians.

Indians starter Josh Tomlin held the Twins' offense at bay for most of the night until Colabello was able to drive a fly ball over the fence in left-center in the seventh inning. The blast marked his fourth of the season. Colabello ranks fifth in baseball with 28 RBI and is currently enjoying a productive .270/.315/.451 slash line, though it had been lowered noticeably by a recent slump.

Chris Colabello singled and struck out twice in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

Per Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the single was the first ball Colabello hit into the outfield in eight days. Including Saturday, he's hitting .100 (3-for-30) with nine strikeouts over his last seven games. Regression is a heck of a thing.

Chris Colabello went 2-for-6 with a home run and four runs batted in as the Twins beat the Rays in 12 innings on Wednesday.

Colabello had a big game, driving a two-run home run off of Jake Odorizzi in the fourth inning, and breaking a 4-4 tie in the top of the 12th with a two-run single off of Josh Lueke. Colabello, who rejected an offer to play in Korea during the off-season, has had a remarkable start to the season, currently leading the American League with 26 RBI.

Chris Colabello went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

Those waiting for Colabello's insane production to fall off will continue to wait, as he took David Price deep for his second home run of the season in Tuesday's loss. Home runs is one of the only categories in which he's not among the league leaders, as he leads the AL with 22 RBI, is third in batting average (.347) and fourth in OPS (.945) through 19 games.

Chris Colabello went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI as the Twins came from behind to beat the Blue Jays 9-5 in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

Twins hitters walked eight times in a six-run eighth to take the lead, and Glen Perkins finished off the doubleheader sweep from there. Colabello went 5-for-7 with four RBI on the day. He has just one homer in 53 at-bats, which is a modest surprise, but he's driven in an AL-leading 19 runs.

Chris Colaballo continued his strong April on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI in a loss to the Blue Jays.

Colabello leads the American League with 15 RBI after first inning RBI double. He's hitting .306/.346/.490 through the team's first 13 games after management basically tried to sell him for parts this winter. It remains to be seen how long he'll be able to continue at this pace, but he's worth riding until the wheel stops.

Chris Colabello continued his hot-hitting on Friday, driving in three more runs to lead the Twins in a 10-1 thrashing of the Royals.

Colabello finished the night 2-for-3 with a double, run scored and three RBI. Injuries to Oswaldo Arcia and Josh Willingham opened the door for everyday at-bats, and Colaballo has run with the opportunity, slashing .308/.341/.513 with a league-high 14 RBI. As long as he remains in the middle of the Twins lineup, fantasy owners should continue to ride his hot streak.

Chris Colabello is in right field, batting fourth in Monday's starting lineup against the Athletics.

Colabello is making his first start in the outfield since August 15 last season. He has mostly been used at first base and DH, but Josh Willingham and Oswaldo Arcia are ailing at the moment. Colabello is off to a hot start, slashing .391/.417/.696 through six games.

Chris Colabello continued his hot hitting Sunday, going 2-for-5 while driving in four runs in a victory over the Indians.

Batting in the cleanup spot for the fourth straight game, Colabello singled in a run in the fourth before providing the big blow of the game with a bases-clearing double in the sixth. The 30-year-old is now leading the American League with a whopping 11 RBI over his first six games. Colabello should continue to see regular at-bats while he's hot, and his work last year at Triple-A (.352/.427/.639 with 24 homers in 89 games) suggests the production might not be a total fluke.

Chris Colabello knocked in six runs with a pair of doubles and a groundout in the Twins' 10-9 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Not bad for a guy the Twins tried to sell to Korea in the offseason. Colabello made the team over Chris Parmelee and Alex Presley in something of an upset, and he's currently starting against left-handers, with Jason Kubel taking a seat on the bench. An expanded role would be a possibility if he continues to produce, but he still has very limited fantasy value at the moment.

Chris Colabello went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored as the Twins came back to beat the Pirates 6-5 on Friday.

The Twins tried to pick up some extra cash by selling Colabello to a Korean team in December, but he declined to make the move. That obviously doesn't bode well for his chances of making the team this spring, but he is making a case while starting off 5-for-11 with five walks. If he makes the team, it would probably be as a DH against left-handers.

Chris Colabello has rejected an offer to play in South Korea next season, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

"Things are always subject to change, but Chris made it clear he wants to help the Minnesota Twins," Colabello's agent Brian Charles said. The Twins were considering sending the first baseman to a team in the Korean Baseball Organization, but Colabello has no interest in changing leagues at this point. The 30-year-old hit .194/.287/.344 this past season with the Twins.

Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Twins are considering sending Chris Colabello to Korea.

Berardino notes that the Twins have already had conversations with at least one team in the Korean Baseball Organization, and are said to be "hyper-aggressive" in their demands for Colabello's buyout fee which could exceed $1 million. The Twins need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster after signing Kurt Suzuki, and Colabello seems the most likely to be squeezed off. The 30-year-old would have to approve any transaction, and could be designated for assignment if he doesn't opt to head overseas.

Chris Colabello went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI against the Blue Jays on Friday.

Colabello has hit three homers in his last four games and now has seven home runs in limited time this season. The first baseman hit an RBI single in the second inning before launching his two-run shot in the seventh. With Justin Morneau gone, the 29-year-old will have plenty of chances during this last month of the season to make an impression on the Twins brass.

Chris Colabello is likely to get more at-bats at first base with Justin Morneau gone.

Colabello has played outfield primarily but has logged 58 innings at first with the Twins this year, and with no better options ahead of him it seems as though the Twins will give the 29-year-old a chance to show what he's got in the season's final month. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Trevor Plouffe and Chris Herrmann will also see increased time at first base.

Twins recalled OF Chris Colabello from Triple-A Rochester.

Colabello was sent down last week despite a hot bat, but he gets to return with Joe Mauer on the DL. He'll see some playing time against left-handers.

Twins optioned OF Chris Colabello to Triple-A Rochester.

Colabello was given a shot at extended playing time over the last month and batted .243/.338/.429 with four homers over 22 games, but it wasn't enough to keep him around. He'll be back when rosters expand.

Chris Colabello is batting a blistering .409/.536/.727 with two homers in 28 plate appearances since August 6.

Entering play that day, Colabello was batting .164/.203/.262 over his first 21 games in the majors. Colabello, who played seven seasons in the Canadian-American Association, had a strong performance for Italy during the World Baseball Classic before obliterating Triple-A pitching (.354/.432/.652 with 24 homers and 76 RBI). The 29-year-old struggled mightily in his first stint with the Twins in late May and scuffled again when he was recalled in July. Now that he's no longer pressing -- and, more importantly, is getting consistent playing time in Minnesota -- the outfielder makes for a nice value in AL-only formats.

Chris Colabello went 2-for-4 with a home run Sunday agains the Mariners.

Colabello has struggled in his first 49 plate appearances with the Twins, but has now homered in two of his last three games. He's still batting only .208/.240/.333 this season and remains nothing more than an AL-only option.
