July 12, 2008 Minnesota earned the 6-5 win over Detroit today with big help from the bat of shortstop Brendan Harris . Harris went 3-for-3 at the plate with his fifth homer of the season, totaling four RBIs and one run scored.
Our View:Harris hit just .242 last month with two homers and eight RBIs. He's improved to .308 thus far through July, and though he does not have a homer, he has earned nine RBIs to top last month's total.
July 5, 2008 Brendan Harris will start at third base on Saturday for the Twins, according to the Star Tribune.
Our View:Harris has been taking grounders at third base for a couple of days as looks to continue to add versatility to his game.
May 23, 2008 Brendan Harris will make his second straight start at shortstop on Friday night, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Adam Everett (shoulder), Matt Tolbert (thumb), and Nick Punto (hamstring) are all on the DL.
Our View:This isn't the ideal fore the Twins, as Rod Gardenhire prefers better defense up the middle. The club doesn't have many other options right now, though.
May 12, 2008 Brendan Harris has missed a few games due to a sore right hamstring, but he is expected back in the Twins' lineup tonight against Boston, according to MLB.com.
Our View:He should be safe to return to your lineups tonight.
May 11, 2008 Brendan Harris did not play on Saturday due to a sore right hamstring, and he could sit on Sunday as well. Manager Ron Gardenhire tells the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the second baseman is "iffy." Matt Tolbert started on Saturday.
Our View:Fantasy owners looking to set their lineups for the week ahead can probably bet on Harris playing. It doesn't sound like the injury is serious.
