It was a slow start for the 25-year-old, who had just five hits in his first 30 at-bats on the season, but he's now slashing .263/.322/.438 with four home runs and 13 RBI.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Out of lineup due to illness
Rotowire
Lee is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Rays because of an illness, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

Lee is off to a slow start, hitting .154 (2-for-13) with zero homers and just one RBI, and he's at some risk for losing his starting shortstop job this season after an underwhelming 2025 (.655 OPS).

Twins' Brooks Lee: Hitting for averge this spring
Rotowire
Lee went 2-for-4 in Monday's spring training win over Boston. He's hitting .308 (16-for-52) with a .743 OPS this spring.
Lee looks set to begin the season as the everyday shortstop. He was underwhelming at the plate last year in his sophomore season with a .655 OPS, though he did hit 16 home runs. He has a good eye at the plate and makes excellent contact (just a 17.5 K%) but struggles to generate power (just a a 28.0% hard-hit rate). It's not clear if he'll have the glove to stick at shortstop as he was -8 in Defensive Runs Saved last season, so it's a big season for Lee to show he can be a building block for the next Twins playoff team.
