The Minnesota Twins placed catcher Ryan Jeffers on the injured list with a wrist injury.
The 28-year-old Jeffers has been a key contributor for Minnesota this season, appearing in 37 games with a .279 batting average, .395 on-base percentage, and .525 slugging percentage for a .919 OPS. He has driven in 26 runs while hitting 7 home runs and drawing 23 walks against 23 strikeouts in 122 at-bats.
The Twins currently sit at 22-26, third in the AL Central division and 4.5 games behind the division leader. The team carries 13 pitchers, 5 infielders, 5 outfielders, and 2 catchers on their active roster, with Jeffers' absence reducing their catching depth.
Jeffers was born on June 3, 1997, and has established himself as a regular in the Twins' lineup this season before the wrist injury sidelined him.
