When he was drafted, he was listed as 6 feet tall, but after being officially measured (as every hitter has to be, these days, to make the ABS system work), he's now 5-foot-10. He's not scrawny, by any means, but he's also far from stoc...20980Tue, 18 Aug 2026 22:32:50 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/two-of-the-longest-tenured-twins-could-be-nearing-the-end-in-different-ways-r20954/The Minnesota Twins are going to have difficult decisions to make this winter. Some of those decisions will involve players who have struggled. Others could involve players who have actually performed well enough to make their futures more complicated. That's the situation with two of their long...20954Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-4-braves-2-this-time-bullpen-holds-r20972/Box Score SP: Bailey Ober 4 1/3 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB (94 pitches, 62 strikes) HR: None Top 3 WPA: Bell 0.15, Adams 0.14, Hoffman 0.08 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs): The Minnesota Twins came into Monday night’s series opener against the Atlanta Braves with plenty of...20972Tue, 18 Aug 2026 03:50:28 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/playing-catch-until-theres-no-more-catch-to-be-had-r20965/I suppose I didn’t have a choice but to be a baseball fan. It’s in my blood, to some degree. My great-uncle died of head trauma, after years of wearing beanballs as a barnstormer in the 30s and 40s.

Waiting on the mound was All-Star and former Twin Jhoan Duran, making Minnesota’s path back into the game even more difficult. With one out, Victor Carat...20967Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:29:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/ebbs-and-flows-of-baseball-have-led-kody-funderburk-back-to-prominence-r20962/Demoted to Triple-A St. Paul for the second time this season on June 2, a struggling Kody Funderburk rejoined the Saints, having posted a lousy 5.65 FIP and a -7.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio (meaning he was walking batters considerably more often than striking them out).

Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew, and Joe Mauer were locks; they got through the gates to baseball immortality relatively easily....20958Mon, 17 Aug 2026 13:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-must-change-the-balance-between-luke-keaschalls-bat-and-his-glove-r20960/Luke Keaschall has quickly become one of the more fascinating players on the Twins roster. There is a very clear reason to want him in the lineup, and an equally clear reason to wonder whether the team can actually afford to play him. The good news is that Keaschall has continued to show th...20960Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:45:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-the-dream-is-fading-r20964/The Weekly Nutshell: The Twins need to get on a run. The past week was the latest instance of their inability to do so. It's a recurring cycle: one impressive breakout game is followed by one or two non-competitive duds to damper any momentum.

It is not hard to understand why. Jenkins, the Minnesota Twins' No. 1 prospect and a top-15 prospect in baseball, has been tearing through Triple-A since his promotion.
