Sun Sep 112:42Brooks Lee Activated And Starting On Sunday
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Brooks Lee (biceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and is starting at the 6 and batting eighth for the Twins in Sunday's series finale at Target Field against the Toronto Blue Jays and rookie right-hander Yariel Rodriguez. Lee, the team's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, should play regularly for the Twins, at least until Carlos Correa (heel) is able to make his return. The 23-year-old switch-hitter has played in only 26 games for Minnesota in 2024 in his first year in the big leagues and has hit .253/.309/.333 with a .642 OPS, two home runs, two doubles, 15 RBI, three steals, nine walks and 16 strikeouts in 110 plate appearances. He has an advanced approach at the plate from both sides and favors contact over raw power. At least in deep mixed leagues, Lee could be serviceable as middle-infield depth if he's playing regularly.

Updating a previous report, the Minnesota Twins placed infield prospect Brooks Lee (biceps) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with biceps tendinitis and activated infielder Kyle Farmer (shoulder) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old Lee had been seeing regular playing time for the Twins with Carlos Correa (heel) on the IL, but he'll now be forced to miss at least the next 10 days. The former eighth overall pick in 2022 out of Cal Poly has hit .253 (25-for-99) with two homers, 15 RBI, two steals and eight runs scored in his first 26 major-league games since being called up. With Lee out, Farmer figures to see regular playing time at the keystone in Minnesota. Farmer is starting at second and batting ninth for the Twins in Game 1 of their Friday doubleheader against the visiting division-rival Cleveland Guardians and rookie left-hander Joey Cantillo.

Tue Aug 618:22Brooks Lee Back In The Lineup
Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Lee will make his return to the field after missing two games due to right shoulder soreness.

Mon Aug 521:47Brooks Lee Managing Shoulder Soreness
Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli says third baseman Brooks Lee's (shoulder) right shoulder is a little sore, which is part of the reason why the infielder was out of the lineup for a second day in a row for Monday's series opener against the hosting Chicago Cubs. Baldelli said Lee could have started on Monday, though. After the session, Lee was taking ground balls at shortstop in batting practice and hit on the field. Fantasy managers should look for the 23-year-old top prospect to return to Minnesota's starting nine as early as Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Through 92 at-bats to begin his major-league career, Lee is slashing a lukewarm .250/.311/.326 with two home runs, 14 RBI, and two stolen bases.

Mon Aug 519:19Jose Miranda, Brooks Lee Out Versus Cubs
Minnesota Twins infielders Jose Miranda and Brooks Lee are absent from the starting lineup at Wrigley Field on Monday against the hosting Chicago Cubs. Royce Lewis is playing third base and is batting third, while Matt Wallner will operate as the designated hitter and bat cleanup against Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Austin Martin is at the keystone and batting ninth for the Twins. Miranda was on fire at the dish before going on the injured list before the All-Star break and has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with two doubles and an RBI in six games since coming off the IL on July 27. Lee started in 24 straight games after his first big-league call-up but will head to the bench for the second straight day. The 23-year-old has gone 4-for-23 (.174) since Miranda returned from the IL and will need to start swinging a hotter bat to hold off Martin at second base.

Tue Jul 1620:02Brooks Lee Performing Very Well In First Major-League Stint
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Brooks Lee has looked quite comfortable in his first stint at the major leagues. Through 11 games, the Cal Poly product has posted a solid .273/.313/.432 line with two home runs, nine RBI, one stolen base, and a 3:7 BB:K ratio. He has posted four multi-hit games and has only gone hitless four times. In addition to his performance in the batter's box, Lee has made starts at shortstop, second base, and third base, which suggests the Twins may want Lee up in the majors for the long haul. The former eighth-overall pick should be considered a must-add in all standard leagues as he should always have a spot in Minnesota's starting nine with his defensive flexibility during the second half.

Fri Jul 1220:08Brooks Lee Playing Second Base On Friday
Minnesota Twins rookie infielder Brooks Lee will get the start at the keystone and will bat eighth for the Twins in Friday's series opener in San Francisco against the Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison. It will be the first time that Lee has started at second base in his ninth big-league game. All eight of his appearances to this point have come at the hot corner. If he keeps swinging the bat like he has early in his career, second base could be his regular position whenever Royce Lewis (groin) returns from the injured list. Lee, a switch-hitting 23-year-old that was the former eighth overall pick in 2022 out of Cal Poly, has gone 12-for-33 (.364) with two homers, a double and nine RBI in his first 35 plate appearances and is quickly becoming relevant in mixed fantasy leagues despite hitting near the bottom of Minnesota's batting order.

Thu Jul 1106:32Brooks Lee Homers Wednesday
Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee had an up-and-down performance in his team's doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Across both games, Lee combined to go 1-for-9, with his one hit leaving the yard for a solo homer. Lee, one of Minnesota's top prospects, is off to a fast start in his first taste of MLB action, hitting .364 with two homers, five runs, and nine RBI over 33 at-bats. Lee should be on the radars of fantasy gamers moving forward.
