Twins' Brooks Lee Out Day-to-Day with Back Tightness

Minnesota Twins infielder Brooks Lee was scratched from the lineup due to lower back tightness, with the team designating him as day-to-day. This injury comes shortly after the team lost third baseman Royce Lewis to a hamstring strain, leaving the Twins in a precarious situation as they prepare for the season. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli expressed that the issue seems to be a minor muscle spasm and will be managed on a day-to-day basis. Lee has a history of back problems and noted that managing his workload and treatment is essential to his health. Meanwhile, Jose Miranda stepped in to take over third base duties in Lee's absence. The Twins, already dealing with injuries, must prioritize player health if they hope to compete effectively in the upcoming season.
