Sizzling Twins Take On The Brewers for Rivalry Weekend

The Minnesota Twins come into their weekend series as one of the hottest teams in the league, winning eleven straight games in a row; the Twins haven't seen much movement up in the Central Division standings due to the Tigers, Guardians, and Royals playing great baseball as well. The Twins, however, have climbed into one of the three wild-card spots, with a 0.5-game lead on the Texas Rangers. The Twins have done everything during this winning streak and received contributions from the whol

Turning the Tide: Twins Showing Signs of Life

The Minnesota Twins are slowly climbing back to .500 on the season (16-20). This slow start has been attributed to injuries, inconsistencies in the lineup, and a few bullpen hiccups. With the weather warming up and the Twins getting to play some lighter competition, they have slowly turned the corner on their painful start to the season.    Griffin Jax started the season with a few blown saves and two bad losses as he saw his ERA balloon to over 11. After his last loss against Atlanta,

Has Joe Ryan vaulted himself into ace status?

Joe Ryan came into the 2025 season with something to prove after his injury-shortened season last year. Ryan made 23 starts in 2024, going 7-7 with an ERA of 3.60 before cutting his season short with a right shoulder strain. He has been one of the most important pitchers in the rotation since making his debut in 2021.  In the 2025 season, Ryan had been nothing short of dominant. Ryan has a nice five-pitch repertoire, which he features the four-seam fastball and sweeper 73% of the time. His

Buxton Reaches Rare Twins Home Run-Stolen Base Milestone

The Minnesota Twins drafted Byron Buxton with the second overall pick in 2012. Drafted with the promise of a five-tool player boasting 30-30 potential, injuries and an inconsistent approach at the plate have unfortunately hindered Buxton from fully realizing that talent over his 11-year career. He has battled knee injuries, back problems, wrist issues, concussions, migraines, hip soreness, and other nagging issues. All these injuries have amounted to him missing around 50% of his playing ti

Struggles at the Plate: Carlos Correa's Slow Start in 2025

The Minnesota Twins are off to a 9-16 start. The team's hitting has been pretty close to non-existent in the first 25 games. They have been able to see guys like Byron Buxton and Luke Keaschall slug the ball all over the ballpark. Both Keaschall and Buxton have a slugging percentage over .450. The Twins' renewed effort to steal bases has been a pleasant surprise. Although the Twins sit in the bottom half of the league in steals, they are almost 25% of the way there to last year's total.

Can This Series Against The White Sox Jumpstart The Twins?

With a 7-15 record, the Twins come into the season holding the second-worst mark in the American League. They open up a three-game series against the worst team in the American League, the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are bringing statistically one of the worst teams in baseball to Target Field. It was the same day last year, April 22nd, the Twins were 7-13 and were getting ready to host a four-game series vs the White Sox. Their sweep of the White Sox then sparked a 12-game winning str

Searching for Answers: Twins Look to Bounce Back from Sweep

Despite the Atlanta Braves' struggling lineup, which ranks in the bottom half of every offensive category this season, the Minnesota Twins were unexpectedly swept in their series. Chris Paddack showed flashes of what the Twins were expecting out of him. He went 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 5 K, 1 BB. He didn't factor into the win on Friday as the Twins lost 6-4. Despite his 2 clunker starts, Paddack has bounced back nicely with 10 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 11 K, 3 BB. Despite possessing a four-pitch arsenal, Paddack h

Bullpen Boost: Stewart Returns; Other Twins Injury News

The Twins reinstated Brock Stewart from the injured list on Saturday. Stewart has been on the injured list all season due to a left hamstring strain he suffered in spring training. He made two appearances in Single A, throwing 1.2 innings while striking out all five batters. He will replace left-hander Kody Funderburk, who was optioned to Triple-A. Funderburk appeared in two games this year, throwing 4.0 innings with a 4.50 ERA. Stewart only pitched in 16 games last year, mostly due to righ

Coulombe's Dominance Should Translate to High-Leverage Assignments

Danny Coulombe is in his second stint with the Twins. He pitched last year with the Baltimore Orioles. Coulumbe was very effective out of that Orioles bullpen, sporting a 2.12 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP over 29 2/3 innings last year. When the Twins re-signed him before this season, they were counting on him being the only lefty in the bullpen so they could use him in any matchup, especially against right-handed hitters. What the Twins have gotten out of Coulombe so far this year is one of the best star

Byron Buxton is creating havoc with his speed again

Byron Buxton is transforming back to the young Byron Buxton. Yeah, he's only hitting .215 with an OBP of .261 and two walks, but when on base, it's more than likely that he'll come around and score. He's been on base 20 times this season and has scored 15 runs, which is a (75%) clip. The Twins' offense has gained a dynamic edge with Byron Buxton's increased aggressiveness on the basepaths. His ability to pick up extra bases often feels like a guaranteed run, a dimension unseen by fans in re

Why is Yunior Severino getting no love?

Yunior Severino has been in Triple-A for part of 2023, and all of 2024. He started 2025 in St. Paul. He was the Minor League Player of The Year in 2023 clubbing 35 homeruns in both Double-A Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul, and then followed that up with 21 homeruns last year strictly in Triple-A St. Paul. He does strike out a lot but has managed to maintain a career .266 batting average and has major power potential. He was once a top-30 prospect but has now completely dropped off. Anyone kno

Welcome To The Show; Luke Keaschall

Luke Keaschall has been called up tonight and will be in Atlanta for tomorrow's game. Where do we see him primarily playing?  This call up has pumped some excitement into the team and added some much needed depth with the uncertainty of Willi Castro and Carlos Correa. Keaschall can handle the bat and provides some much needed speed for the Twins. What is everyone's thoughts on this move?
