Newsbreakers

October 10, 2009

The Minnesota Twins have removed infielder Matt Tolbert from their playoff roster due to his oblique injury, according to Fanhouse.com's Ed Price. Brian Buscher has been summoned to replace Tolbert on the roster.

Our View:

You hate to see anyone get hurt, especially in the postseason. Tolbert was replaced by Brenden Harris last night, and Harris figures to be in the lineup when the Twins try to stay alive against the Yanks in Game 3.

October 9, 2009

Matt Tolbert exited Friday's Game 2 of the ALDS in the sixth inning with a strained oblique.

Our View:

Tobert was replaced by Brendan Harris at third base, and Harris promptly tripled to give the Twins a 1-0 lead in his first at-bat. He will finish the remainder of the game and could see a start in Game 3 depending on the severity of Tolbert's injury.

September 11, 2009

Matt Tolbert went 2-for-2 with two RBI in tonight's 12-5 loss to the Athletics at the Metrodome. Both of his hits were singles.

Our View:

Tolbert was only hitting .178 over 129 at-bats heading into tonight's solid performance, and his fantasy stock remains low.

September 4, 2009

Matt Tolbert has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester.

Our View:

Tolbert is hitting .178 in 129 major league at-bats this season, and should see very limited playing time down the stretch.

July 13, 2009

Matt Tolbert has been optioned to Triple-A Rochester, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Our View:

Tolbert is batting just .178 in 129 at-bats this season, and it is clear his bat is not major league ready. He is not an option no matter where he plays for the rest of the season.

June 8, 2009

Matt Tolbert will start at third base in tonight's game at Oakland, according to the Star Tribune. Joe Crede was a late scratch with a sore calf.

Our View:

Tolbert has very little power and holds a poor .177 average over 79 at-bats this season. He does not merit fantasy consideration for tonight.

May 6, 2009

The Twins have called up infielder Matt Tolbert from Triple-A Rochester. He was batting .260-1-9 over 23 games for the club.

Our View:

Tolbert can play a variety of infield spots, and he will be a backup option at shortstop and second base. He won't have much fantasy value, even in AL-only formats.

April 4, 2009

Matt Tolbert has been optioned to Triple-A Rochester by the Twins, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Tolbert hit .283 over 113 at-bats in 2008, but was unable to earn a roster spot as the Twins are deep at third base with Joe Crede, Brendan Harris and Brian Buscher.
