Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lee, the No. 8 overall pick in 2022, held his own in his first trip to the majors and enters spring training looking set to win an everyday role at third base or second base. Lee suffered a herniated disc in his back during spring training which delayed his debut until June. He was quickly called up after posting a .974 OPS at Triple-A. He had a hot start to his major league career by hitting .300 with a .816 OPS in his first ten games, but then hit just .197 with a .514 OPS the rest of the season. Brooks has a good eye at the plate and makes excellent contact (just a 14.6% K%), but struggled to generate power in the majors with a 40.1% ground-ball rate. He can play around the infield, but may be Minnesota's best fielding third baseman. He'll compete for a starting job at second base or third base and could improve dramatically in his second full season. Read Past Outlooks

Moved to IL
The Twins placed Lee (back) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a lumbar strain.
ANALYSIS
Lee's back began to tighten up on him toward the very end of spring training, and he won't be able to make it back for Opening Day. Reps at third base will likely be handed down to Jose Miranda and Willi Castro while Lee and Royce Lewis (hamstring) are out, but Lee should be able to take over at the hot corner once he returns.

Catch up on the players who won jobs in the final days of camp around the American League, including Cam Smith of the Astros.

The American League waiver wire is packed with options as Opening Day approaches, and the return of Nolan Jones to the Cleveland Guardians should settle their murky right field situation.

Several job battles have been settled around the American League, including the Royals' fifth starter job, which appears to have been won by Kris Bubic.

Plenty of starting spots are available in the AL Central this spring, including a pair at the back of the Tigers' rotation, where Jackson Jobe seems to have a pretty clear path.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A crowded Twins depth chart complicates Lee's path to playing time in the short term, but he doesn't need much more time in the minors from a developmental standpoint. The No. 8 overall pick in 2022, Lee has been essentially as advertised, with a .281/.355/.459 slash line, 20 home runs, seven steals and a 15.7 percent strikeout rate in 156 career games, primarily at Double-A and Triple-A. He may not have a true plus tool, but he could be at least average across the board, and his hit tool still has a chance to get to plus. The 5-foot-11 switch hitter can handle shortstop, and he could be a plus defender at second base, where his average arm is a better fit than third base or the outfield. Lee is better in real life than fantasy, as he doesn't project to hit 25 homers or steal double-digit bases, but he has a very high fantasy floor long term.
