Fantasy Impact:

Gasper’s .289/.404/.395 spring slash line earns him a Twins roster spot Sunday, shrugging off a six-stitch ankle cut from a teammate’s spike while fielding. The switch-hitter’s versatility at catcher, first, and second shines. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his on-base skills for spot value in Minnesota’s 2025 lineup with this multi-position role.
