Ryan Kreidler taking advantage of increased opportunity with Twins
Kreidler has played shortstop, center field and third base while Byron Buxton deals with a hip issue and Kaelen Culpepper stays at Triple-A.
- Ryan Kreidler has seized an expanded role with the Minnesota Twins, earning consistent playing time at shortstop and other positions through defensive versatility and improved offensive production.
- After being DFA'd twice by Detroit, Kreidler joined the Twins in October and is slashing.279/.353/.490 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 44 games this season.
- "He's got some pop," manager Derek Shelton said, noting Kreidler has also played center field, left field, and third base this season.
- Playing time increased when the Twins demoted Royce Lewis and shifted Brooks Lee, prompting Kreidler to state, "I think helping the team win however I can is still the most important thing."
- While Kaelen Culpepper, one of the organization's top prospects, recently returned to Triple-A from the injured list, Kreidler remains focused on his major league contributions.
