Twins' Ryan Jeffers: May be headed for extended absence

Jeffers suffered a heel injury during Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Jeffers was reportedly unable to swing a bat or run toward the end of Thursday's game. After the contest, manager Rocco Baldelli didn't rule out the possibility of a stint on the injured list for Jeffers. More clarity on the situation should emerge in the coming days, though the Twins could be in a precarious position behind the plate as Mitch Garver is battling back tightness.
