Willi Castro will shift to shortstop while Austin Martin receives a start at the keystone.

Nabs first steal Lee went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Impact The steal was Lee's first in the majors. Considering he had just two thefts over 30 minor-league games this season, he shouldn't be expected to make a significant contribution on the basepaths regularly. Lack of speed aside, the 23-year-old is off to a good start in his Twins career, batting .300 with two home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored across his first 10 big-league contests.

Playing second base Lee is batting eighth and playing second base Friday against San Francisco.

Impact Lee has played third base in all eight of his big-league starts due to Royce Lewis (groin) being on the IL. However, Lee will get his first look at second base Friday, the position he's likely to transition to long-term once Lewis is activated. The 23-year-old Lee has a .947 OPS with a pair of home runs in 35 plate appearances.

Imagining the Twins' future with Brooks Lee and a healthy Royce Lewis The Twins appear to have an abundance of franchise shortstops, which is a great problem to have (and actually isn't a problem at all).

Hits first career homer in win Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

Impact Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning for his first career major-league home run. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running with the Twins, going 7-for-15 with a home run and six RBI over his first four games.

Two hits in debut Lee went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Lee struck out in his first at-bat but bounced back with two singles, including an RBI base knock in the seventh. Lee should be in the lineup nearly every day with Royce Lewis now shelved with an adductor strain and deserves consideration in all mixed leagues.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Officially promoted The Twins selected Lee's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Impact Lee will get his first taste of major-league action, filling Royce Lewis' (groin) spot on the active roster. The 23-year-old has been lighting it up at St. Paul, owning a 1.029 OPS and a .306 ISO across 94 plate appearances. He should mix in with Jose Miranda at third base while Lewis is on the IL.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be called up The Twins are expected to call up Lee prior to Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Declan Goff and Darren Wolfson of SKOR North report.

Impact The news would seem to point to another stint on the injured list for Royce Lewis (groin), although there's nothing official on that yet. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 Draft, Lee missed the first two months of the season with a back injury but has slashed an impressive .329/.394/.635 with seven home runs and a 13:9 K:BB over 20 games with Triple-A St. Paul. Lee has mostly played shortstop this season with St. Paul, but he also has experience at second and third base and would figure to take over as the Twins' primary guy at the hot corner if Lewis does indeed have to miss some time.

Promoted to Triple-A Lee was promoted Thursday to Triple-A St. Paul.

Impact The top-ranking prospect in the Twins' minor-league system, Lee earned the level jump after slashing .292/.365/.476 with 11 home runs, 31 doubles, 61 RBI, six stolen bases and 63 runs scored in 87 games this summer at Double-A Wichita. The fast-rising 22-year-old shortstop was the eighth overall selection in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Cal Poly.

Heating up at Double-A Lee went 3-for-4 with a home run Wednesday for Double-A Wichita. He's hitting .344 with six home runs and a 1.047 in 23 games since June 15.

Impact Lee is hitting .289 with a .853 OPS and 10 home runs overall for Wichita. He had a slightly underwhelming start to the season (.269 with four home runs and a .772 OPS through June 6) for a player who was drafted eighth overall in 2022, but has improved as the summer heated up. It's especially encouraging to see more power.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Can't hold hot start at Double-A Lee is hitting .269 with four home runs and a .772 OPS at Double-A Wichita.

Impact Lee began the season hot by hitting .323 with a .894 OPS through his first 23 games, but has cooled by hitting .200 with a .617 OPS in his last 24 games. There's still plenty to like about his performance with good walk rates (10.3%) and strikeout rates (16.2%), but he hasn't been overly impressive. The 2022 first-round draft pick may need to add more power (4 HRs and .429 SLG) to become an elite prospect.
