When it became clear that the team would not trust Josh Bell or Victor Caratini with regular playing time at first base, Clemens played there for a while, even though it might be his wor...21130Thu, 10 Sep 2026 11:08:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/should-derek-shelton-return-as-manager-of-the-twins-in-2027-r21104/As the Twins close out another disappointing season (though, at least, one that raised expectations and began cementing the cornerstones for the next generation), there will be plenty of blame to go around. As the team decides on its future, there's one gigantic question they will have to answer...21104Wed, 09 Sep 2026 23:02:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tigers-7-twins-2-this-one-was-ugly-from-the-start-r21127/  Box Score SP: Zebby Matthews - 2 1/3 IP, 2 H, 5 R, 4 BB, 2 K (58 pitches, 27 strikes (47% strikes)) Home Runs: Kody Clemens (26), Josh Bell (19) Bottom 3 WPA: Zebby Matthews (-0.24), Brooks Lee (-0.09), Kaelen Culpepper (-0.08) Win Probability Chart The Twins entered We...21127Wed, 09 Sep 2026 21:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/which-twins-youngsters-have-earned-a-2027-job-r21112/The Minnesota Twins are running out of games on the 2026 schedule, which means the evaluation period is getting shorter.

One is a below-average regular or decent part-timer.

Before the All-Star break, Ryan posted a sparkling 2.85 ERA in 110 1/3 innings. He racked up 128 strikeouts, compared to just 25 walks. He made the All-Star team, and was on the fringes of Cy Young consideration.
