Brooks Lee is a fantasy baseball SS prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Brooks Lee, SS, Minnesota Twins
ROTOBALLER'S LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #20
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Brooks Lee was taken as the eighth overall pick in 2022, and by the end of 2023, he had logged 38 games at Triple-A. The 23-year-old had a good spring with the big-league club, hitting .333 (12-for-36) with five doubles, a triple, and a home run in 13 games played. The switch-hitter does not strike out a lot, with a 16.0% K% in 2023, and had a solid 9.9% BB%.

An issue with back spasms toward the end of March landed him on the IL for three to four weeks. In the meantime, both Royce Lewis and Carlos Correa have landed on the IL, which could have opened the door for Lee had he been healthy.
He'll probably need some time at Triple-A to get his timing down again, but depending on the health of the aforementioned Lewis and Correa, Lee might be needed sooner rather than later. With Lewis's injury history, it'd be surprising if he were to stay healthy the remainder of the year even after he returns, so all the more reason to have Lee ready to step in. Look for him to get the call to the big-league club by mid-to-late May.
