  08/16/2026 • By RotoWire

  Kreidler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Kreidler will hit the bench for the third time in five games as he settles into a utility role following the promotion of top prospect Kaelen Culpepper on Aug. 7. Though he had been swinging a hot bat earlier in the season for Minnesota, Kreidler has fallen back to earth in the second half, slashing just .178/.200/.260 with a 25.3 percent strikeout rate in 25 games since the All-Star break.

• Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Shows speed in win

  07/26/2026 • By RotoWire

  Kreidler went 3-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, one RBI, two stolen bases and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-8 win over the Athletics. Kreidler hasn't been a regular source of speed this season, but that may be changing. He's logged all three of his steals over the last two games, and he's also up to three triples on the year. Kreidler had gone 13 games without a multi-hit effort prior to Sunday, batting just .114 (4-for-35) in that span, but he has a path to a near-everyday role since Tristan Gray was optioned Monday. Overall, Kreidler is batting .244 with a .720 OPS, five home runs, 25 RBI and 24 runs scored across 62 contests this season.
