His latest performance -- 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a one-run loss to the Rockies on Tuesday -- punctuated a lengthy slump that saw him slash .143/.221/.325 with six extra-base hits since the start o...16386Thu, 13 Jun 2024 18:19:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jair-camargo-is-back-with-the-saints-applying-a-bit-more-pressure-to-christian-v%C3%A1zquez-r16374/Earlier this season, the Minnesota Twins found themselves needing to promote minor-league catcher Jair Camargo to the big-league roster. He ultimately made his way into the lineup for Rocco Baldelli, and while he still seeks his first hit, the former Los Angeles Dodgers prospect did score a run....16374Thu, 13 Jun 2024 13:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-the-twins-were-right-to-demote-alex-kirilloff-to-minors-r16376/The demotion of Alex Kirilloff might come as a surprise to some who remember him as a stud, top-20 global prospect, but it shouldn't be shocking to anyone who has been following the Twins closely this year. On the season, Kirilloff has posted a disappointing .669 OPS, and the trend line had been...16376Thu, 13 Jun 2024 11:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-make-a-deal-should-the-twins-target-any-of-the-pirates-booty-r16373/The Twins may be catching the Pittsburgh Pirates at a tricky time, both in terms of playing them on the field (the Bucs looked awfully ready for them, as the Twins limped into town after their Bronx bombing), and with regard to considering their roster as a target for pillaging. The Pirates have...16373Wed, 12 Jun 2024 23:12:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-it-official-twins-17-rockies-9-twins-punish-rockies-r16380/Box Score SP: Pablo Lopez 5.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K (91 pitches, 60 strikes, 14 whiffs) Home Runs: Willi Castro (5), Royce Lewis (5) Top 3 WPA: Carlos Santana (.195), Jhoan Duran (.153), Carlos Correa (.097) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Round Goes the Carousel...16380Wed, 12 Jun 2024 20:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/new-topps-set-brings-renewed-excitement-for-twins-cards-r16351/While Beckett no longer provides a gold standard when looking for value on trading cards, Ryan Cracknell does an incredible job as the editor keeping card collectors abreast of what is coming out. The season is often tied to kicking off when the yearly Topps Series 1 releases.

They had to designate Diego Castillo for assignment to do it, which the team is always loath to do, but those who read Theo Tollefson's piece here at Twins Daily earlier this week know why the...16379Wed, 12 Jun 2024 17:18:51 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-surveyed-players-right-to-call-carlos-correa-overrated-r16369/Sports debates have been part of water cooler and barstool discussions for generations.

As such, they may be buyers. It’s worth looking around the league to get familiar with some players who...16354Wed, 12 Jun 2024 11:27:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rockies-5-twins-4-varland-strong-in-return-but-four-run-sixth-frame-costs-thielbar-twins-r16375/Box Score SP: Louie Varland 5.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K (63 pitches, 42 strikes, 8 whiffs) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (4) Bottom 3 WPA: Caleb Thielbar (-0.399), Alex Kirilloff (-0.135), Ryan Jeffers (-0.101)  Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Louie Lifted Too Soon?...16375Wed, 12 Jun 2024 02:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ripples-louie-varlands-return-sort-of-a-huge-umpire-change-tonight-and-a-proposed-rule-change-r16372/Monday night's Twins-Rockies tilt was a crisp affair, played in 2 hours, 9 minutes and with a bevy of balls in play. Twins pitchers struck out 10 Colorado batters, but only issued one walk, and on the flip side, they only struck out and walked twice each on offense.  That wasn't surprising,...16372Tue, 11 Jun 2024 17:08:01 +0000
