Ryan Jeffers Returns from Hamate Injury After Two-Month Absence
The Twins' top trade chip is back behind the plate, needing only five rehab games before rejoining the active roster.
Ryan Jeffers returned to the Twins' lineup on Friday after missing roughly two months with a fractured hamate bone. He required just five rehab games to prepare for his return. Before the injury, Jeffers was posting a 165 wRC+ with a .295 average, seven home runs, and 26 RBI across 37 games. His return heightens his trade value ahead of the August 3 deadline, with the Yankees and Rays both scouting him in person.
