2025 Player Outlook
Lee got his first taste of MLB action last season, and he slashed .221/.265/.320 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 50 games. The switch-hitting infielder's numbers were better before he hit the IL with a hamstring strain, but he heads into 2025 as the projected starter at second base for the Twins. While he never had big time power or stolen base numbers during his time in the minors, he showed a good hit tool during the time in his minors, and had a career .830 OPS at the Triple-A level, and .838 OPS at Double-A. In his first full year in the bigs, he profiles as more of a jack of all trades master of none archetype, with his best asset likely to be his batting average (.255-.265).
Player News
Brooks Lee is starting at third base and batting sixth for the Twins on Wednesday.
With Carlos Correa (wrist) not in the lineup on Wednesday, Willi Castro will slide over to shortstop, and Brooks Lee will enter the lineup at third base. Lee has gone 2-for-7 with a home run and two RBI in two games since coming off the IL. If Correa were to wind up on the injured list, Lee would figure to see a big bump in playing time.
Brooks Lee went 1-for-2 and smacked a solo home run on Tuesday night as the Twins defeated the Mets.
Lee took over for Carlos Correa in the fifth inning of this one and made his presence felt off the bench. After striking out in his first at-bat he walloped a 386-foot solo shot off of Max Kranick in the seventh inning that extended the Mets’ lead to 6-3. If Correa is forced to miss any time with his wrist injury, the door could be open for Lee to see regular playing time in the Twins’ infield.
Twins activated INF Brooks Lee from the 10-day injured list.
Lee is at third base and batting eighth on Sunday against the Tigers in his season debut. The 24-year-old former top prospect missed the start of the regular season with back tightness, but he’s ready to go after a brief minor league rehab assignment. There’s plenty of upside here, but it’s going to be challenging for fantasy managers to find roster space for him outside of extremely deep mixed leagues and AL-only formats.
Brooks Lee went 1-for-3 in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.
Lee started at second base in his first game back from back tightness. He should be an option for the Twins next week, assuming that they want to go to him as an alternative to Edouard Julien and Jose Miranda. He hit .238/.273/.381 in 44 plate appearances before going down this spring.
