Kody Clemens' Red-Hot Surge Offers Intriguing Short-Term Streaming Value
Kody Clemens has settled into a highly productive role as the everyday starter at first base for the third-place Minnesota Twins. The 30-year-old infielder is enjoying a massive power surge, highlighted by hitting four home runs with a stellar .318 batting average and nine runs scored over his last 12 games. With the Twins sitting at 33-40 and managing multiple lineup injuries, Clemens has provided a crucial spark in the heart of their batting order.
While this current hot streak is incredibly valuable for fantasy managers, a look under the hood suggests long-term regression is inevitable. Clemens has already swatted 10 home runs this year, surpassing our models' initial projection of eight homers over 230 at-bats. However, his career .218 batting average and susceptibility to strikeouts indicate that this high-level production is more of a hot streak than a permanent breakout. Fantasy managers should ride the wave while he is locked in but remain cautious of his baseline averages.
This week, the Twins embark on a six-game road trip against Texas and Arizona. Clemens draws several favorable matchups against vulnerable arms, including Jack Leiter (5.13 ERA) and Zac Gallen (5.71 ERA), though a matchup against Michael Soroka (3.11 ERA) will test his patience. Our weekly projection highlights strong power potential and run-producing opportunities across these six games. Ride his hot hand and insert him into active lineups this week.

Outlook Luke Keaschall
Luke Keaschall is poised for a multi-category breakout as the Twins' everyday second baseman.
Luke Keaschall enters his sophomore campaign with direct path to an everyday starting role at second base for the Minnesota Twins. Following a promising 49-game debut in 2025 where he hit .302 with 14 stolen bases, Keaschall has established himself as a dynamic, young table-setter in the middle infield. At just 23 years old, his recovery from prior elbow surgery is fully behind him, allowing him to focus on securing a prominent spot near the top of Minnesota's batting order.
Our season projection expects Keaschall to take a massive step forward in volume, slateing him for 471 at-bats, 49 runs, and 49 RBI. While he possesses modest home run power, projected to hit around 10 homers, his primary fantasy value lies in his elite speed and on-base skills. With an expected .263 batting average, a solid .347 on-base percentage, and a projection of 20 stolen bases, he profiles as a highly valuable speed asset who will not hurt your ratios.
Given his current ADP of 126.51, Keaschall represents a fantastic mid-round target for fantasy managers looking to secure stolen bases without sacrificing batting average. He offers a very safe playing-time floor with the high-ceiling potential of a top-15 second baseman if his contact skills match his 2025 rookie baseline. Draft him with confidence as your primary second baseman or a high-end middle infield option.
