Player Outlook
Michael Helman has an interesting speed-power combo and versatility to play almost every position (he's played all but catcher in the minors), but he may not be more than utility player since he'll turn 29 next season. Helman hit 12 home runs with 14 steals at Triple-A last season with a .212 ISO. He's had a good command of the strike zone during his minor league career as well. He has outstanding speed which could make him an option in center field but likely doesn't have a good enough glove for regular duty in the infield. He'll be an intriguing fantasy option if he gets regular at-bats as he could be a late bloomer, but he'll likely be a long shot to win a utility role this spring.

  • Cardinals' Michael Helman: Sent to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned Helman to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Helman went just 2-for-18 at the dish during Grapefruit League play, which likely eliminated any chance he had at breaking camp with the big club. The 28-year-old infielder reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024 as a member of the Twins, appearing in nine games for Minnesota last September.

  • Cardinals' Michael Helman: Dealt to St. Louis

    The Twins traded Helman to the Cardinals on Thursday in exchange for cash. Helman spent most of last season with Triple-A St. Paul, where he slashed .270/.349/.482 with 14 home runs and 48 RBI across 315 plate appearances. He also fared well in a small sample size during his first career MLB stint, going 3-for-10 at the plate while scoring two runs over nine games for Minnesota. Now with the Cardinals, the 28-year-old's defensive versatility could give him a leg up in the race for a bench spot, though there's a decent chance he begins the season at Triple-A Memphis.

  • Twins' Michael Helman: Back from injured list

    Helman (shoulder), who was activated from the minor-league injured list Aug. 28, was promoted from Double-A Wichita to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twinsreports. Helman landed on the 60-day IL for St. Paul in May with a dislocated shoulder, and he played a few games with Wichita after being reinstated last week before rejoining the Triple-A club. The 27-year-old has just 12 games under his belt at Triple-A this year but has hit well in the limited sample with a .333/.434/.711 slash line and four homers.
