Twins' Brooks Lee: Day off Wednesday
Rotowire
Lee is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Angels.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Homers in win
Rotowire
Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Tigers.
Lee scored on a wild pitch in the second inning before tying the game with a 430-foot blast in the fourth. The big night came at a good time, as the 24-year-old had entered Wednesday in a 1-for-21 slump since homering twice July 29 versus Boston. For the season, he's slashing .245/.288/.376 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI, 30 runs scored and two steals across 354 plate appearances.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Takes over shortstop duties
Rotowire
Lee went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss against the Guardians.
Lee had been serving in a utility infield role in recent weeks, but he's poised to serve as the Twins' everyday shortstop moving forward after Carlos Correa was traded to Houston on Thursday. While seeing sporadic playing time for much of July, Lee slashed just .164/.219/.269 with two home runs, 11 RBI, four runs and one stolen base on the month.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Rips two homers
Rotowire
Lee went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's loss to Boston.
Lee came off the bench for Carlos Correa (illness) and delivered an offensive outburst. Lee put the Twins on the board with an RBI single in the fifth inning before knocking a pair of two-run homers in the seventh and ninth frames. It was his first career multi-homer performance and snapped a 23-game homer drought. During that skid, he went 11-for-70 (.157). Lee's five-RBI day matched his total from the previous 17 games combined. He's now slashing .256/.294/.387 with 20 extra-base hits and 43 RBI through 326 plate appearances.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Playing time tailing off
Rotowire
Lee will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Though he'll be included in the lineup Wednesday while Carlos Correa rests for a day game after a night game, Lee was on the bench for each of the previous three contests and appears to have moved into more of a utility infield role for Minnesota while he's slashed just .111/.163/.133 since the beginning of July. A more consistent role could reopen for Lee if the Twins look to trade pending free agents such as Willi Castro, Harrison Bader and Ty France ahead of the July 31 deadline.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Sitting down Tuesday
Rotowire
Lee isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
After going 0-for-7 with a walk and a run scored in his first three games of the second half, Lee will take a seat Tuesday with Willi Castro set to start at the keystone.
Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Lee had picked up starts in each of the last three contests, but he'll take a seat for the series finale with the Pirates. Carlos Correa (ankle) will return from a one-game absence to start at shortstop, while super-utility man Willi Castro will step in at second base as Harrison Bader enters the starting nine in left field.
Lee is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.
Lee will grab a seat Wednesday after starting both of the previous two contests at second base for the Twins. Willi Castro will receive the start at the keystone and will bat second.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Back in lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Lee will start at second base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Rays.
The Twins sent Lee to the bench for the previous two contests, but he came up big in a reserve role Saturday, going 1-for-2 with a walk-off RBI bunt single in a 6-5 win. Lee will rejoin the starting nine for the series finale, but he'll likely need to raise his production at the plate to ensure he maintains a regular spot in the lineup over Harrison Bader, who will head to the bench after making four straight starts. Over his last seven games, Lee has gone 3-for-19 with no walks and seven strikeouts, bringing his slash line down to .272/.306/.402 for the season.
Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Willi Castro (wrist) will return to the lineup after a three-game absence and will fill in at third base for Lee, who will take a seat for the first time since June 10. While starting in each of Minnesota's last 13 games, Lee slashed .373/.385/.529 with two home runs and eight RBI. Though he'll likely see most of his starts at third base while Royce Lewis (hamstring) is on the shelf, the hot-hitting Lee could move over to the keystone to maintain a regular spot in the lineup once Lewis is ready to return from the injured list.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Homers in three-hit day
Rotowire
Lee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Houston.
Lee provided all of the Twins' run production for a second consecutive game, clubbing a solo homer in the seventh inning off Brandon Walter on Sunday after belting a two-run shot Saturday. The 24-year-old has hit three home runs in his last seven games and has put together a 16-game hitting streak that has pushed his season-long batting average from .230 to .267. With the Twins placing Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday, Lee appears poised to serve as the team's primary option at third base for the foreseeable future.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Accounts for team's only runs
Rotowire
Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.
Minnesota's offense was held to three hits in the contest, but Lee kept the game close with his two-run blast off Hunter Brown in the fifth inning. The long ball extended Lee's hitting streak to 14 games, and he's batting .321 (18-for-56) with two homers, nine RBI, seven runs and a stolen base over that span. With Royce Lewis (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Lee should be set for an everyday role at third base for at least the short-term.
