James Outman: Breaking News

Outman will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Astros. Outman will make his fifth consecutive start Monday, but he'll likely be headed to a bench role if Byron Buxton (hip) avoids a stint on the injured list and returns to the lineup within the next couple days. Though he's been on the roster all season, Outman has logged just 48 plate appearances, slashing .178/.229/.289 with zero home runs and four stolen bases.

Outman appears to be set to make the the Twins' Opening Day roster. Outman entered the spring in competition with Alan Roden for the final spot on Minnesota's roster, and after Roden was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Outman appears to have made the cut. The outfielder has batted .220 with two home runs, six RBI, seven runs scored, and a team-high seven stolen bases over 41 at-bats during 17 contests so far during spring training. Roden produced a more impressive .302 average over 43 at-bats during 15 games, but the 26-year-old still had a minor-league option while Outman did not, and that was likely a driving force in Minnesota's decision to stick with the latter for now.

Outman is hitting .280 (7-for-25) with two home runs and six stolen bases this spring. He remains in the mix to win a spot on the major league roster though the outfield competition is still unsettled, The Athletic reports. Outman is out of minor league options which could help his case to win a final roster spot. The Twins have a glut of left-handed outfielders, however, which could hurt his case. Outman is likely competing with Alan Roden for the final spot. Outman looked like a potential star in 2023 when he hit 23 home runs as a rookie in 151 games with a .790 OPS (and a 117+ wRC+), but he has struggled since. He hit just .147 with a .558 OPS and four home runs in 37 games after he was traded to the Twins last season. If he makes the roster in a reserve role, he could be a source of stolen bases for deep leagues.
