Set to miss extended time Jeffers has a small fracture in his right thumb and will be sidelined for at least 6-8 weeks, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Jeffers was initially diagnosed with a right thumb contusion when he landed on the 10-day injured list Friday, but he underwent further testing that revealed a fracture. The 25-year-old is unlikely to be available to return to game action until at least September, and he'll presumably require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Twins. Gary Sanchez is in line to serve as Minnesota's primary catcher in Jeffers' absence, while Caleb Hamilton will serve as the No. 2 option behind the dish.

White Sox get HRs from Anderson, Engel in 6-2 win over Twins

Out with bruised thumb Jeffers was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right thumb contusion.

Impact Jeffers presumably picked up the injury during Thursday's matchup with the White Sox, when he went 1-for-4 with a strikeout. The 25-year-old's absence will coincide with the All-Star break, so he'd only end up missing five games if reinstated July 26 after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Gary Sanchez should operate as Minnesota's primary catcher in the meantime, while Caleb Hamilton was called up to fill backup duties.

On bench Tuesday Jeffers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Pops seventh homer Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact Jeffers has hit safely in three straight games, going 6-for-13 with two homers, five RBI, three runs scored and a double in that span. The 25-year-old backstop's long ball Sunday was a big one, as it put the Twins ahead 5-4 in the sixth inning. He's upped his slash line to .211/.288/.378 with seven long balls, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored through 206 plate appearances. Jeffers is likely to continue splitting playing time with Gary Sanchez behind the plate.
