Twins Activate Ryan Jeffers From Injured List
2 years agoThe Minnesota Twins activated catcher Ryan Jeffers (thumb) from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and placed catcher Sandy Leon (knee) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Leon will need to have surgery to fix a meniscus injury in his right knee. Jeffers has missed the team's last 62 games after having surgery on a fractured right thumb in mid-July. He went 8-for-35 with a double, three home runs, seven RBI and four walks during a nine-game minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A St. Paul. In 60 games for the Twins before his injury, Jeffers was hitting just .214 (41-for-192) with 10 doubles, seven home runs and 25 RBI. The 25-year-old backstop will start Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox on the bench.
