Through 15 games, San&#xF3; has just five hits and an abysmal OPS of .380. San&#xF3; has just one extra-base hit and has statistically been the least valuable player in baseball in this early season with an fWAR of -.07.

Again?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/max-kepler-poised-to-breakout-again-r12208/</link><description>Many Twins sluggers had remarkable 2019 seasons, including Max Kepler. In 134 games, he hit .252/.336/.519 (.855) with 32 doubles and 36 home runs. Obviously, the baseballs used that season have come under question, which is undoubtedly the case with Kepler.

In 2022, his six homers lead all of Major League Baseball. Buxton is a menace at the plate, settling in as a true MVP-caliber talent for the Twins.

He's being paid the highest single-season salary for an infielder in MLB history, and he has the opportunity to opt out of his contract at season's end.

	The Tigers, coming off five straight losing seasons, expect to compete in 2022. They won 77 games in manager A.J. Hinch&#x2019;s first season with the club, finishing in third place in the Central in 2021.

Some of them bring ample big-league experience, while others bring tantalizing upside.

With both catchers being deployed, there&#x2019;s the reality of a lost designated hitter should they need to swap out mid-game.

Last April, he started hot in the season's first month as he hit .427/.466/.897 (1.363) with eight doubles and eight home runs in 18 games.

He came up and punished major-league fastballs until he was fed a steady diet of breaking pitches.
