Early MLB All-Star picks: Who should start in the AL?
Fan balloting will ultimately decide most All-Star starters. But votes aside, which positions should be the tightest battles based on first-...JUNE 19
Austin Martin - Garnering third straight start Martin will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact Martin will be awarded a third consecutive start after he reached base five times (four hits, one walk) while scoring twice, driving in a run and chipping in a stolen base between the Twins' previous two contests. The 25-year-old still looks to be a part-time player for Minnesota, though he should have a regular path to making starts against left-handed pitching.

Ryan Jeffers - Heading to bench Wednesday Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact With solid counting statistics (12 home runs, two stolen bases, 37 RBI and 28 runs) and a non-toxic batting average (.234), Jeffers has been one of the top fantasy catchers this season, but he's started to lose some of his shine in recent weeks. He's slashing just .153/.240/.259 overall since May 15, and his ongoing struggles at the dish have begun to cost him some playing time. He'll give way Wednesday to Christian Vazquez, who remains the Twins' No. 2 catcher but seems to have moved his way into more a timeshare with Jeffers behind the dish.

The Minnesota Twins will place outfielder Alex Kirilloff on the injured list after all with back trouble six days after the struggling former top prospect was sent down to Triple-AJUNE 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alex Kirilloff - Dealing with back injury Kirilloff's option to Triple-A St. Paul was rescinded Tuesday as the Twins placed him on the 10-day injured list due to back soreness and nerve issues, Dan Hayes of The Athletic re...
Impact The demotion was initially reported after Wednesday's win against the Rockies, but Kirilloff is instead back with the big club as the injury is evaluated. The 26-year-old underwent an MRI in late May but apparently didn't communicate how troublesome the injury had become as he attempted to play through it. It's unclear how long Kirilloff is expected to be sidelined, but the Twins could plan out a lengthy rehab assignment given his .654 OPS and career-worst 26.4 percent strikeout rate this year.
