Twins roster news: Brooks Lee said he will begin the season on the 10-day IL recovering from low back tightness.

Twins will be without Lee, Royce Lewis, Brock Stewart and Michael Tonkin for at least the first week of the regular season. https://t.co/sYzPDA25RW

Fantasy Impact:

Lee’s back tightness, lingering for days, shelves him for the Twins’ Thursday start, alongside Royce Lewis’s hamstring issue, opening third base for Willi Castro and Jose Miranda. The 24-year-old delays his regular role. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his upside for a quick return to Minnesota’s 2025 lineup if his recovery progresses smoothly.
