While the bullpen has withstood injuries to start out as one of the best in baseball, the lineup needed to carry the load. It took a bit, but a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16100</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2024 19:24:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is This Process Worth the Results for Byron Buxton?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-this-process-worth-the-results-for-byron-buxton-r16094/</link><description>A season ago, the Twins were forced to play Byron Buxton only as the designated hitter. His body continued to fail him, and a nagging knee injury forbade him play the field. That only worked for a short time, though. It soon became clear his offensive production wasn&#x2019;t suited for a lineup-only r...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16094</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2024 16:19:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reviewing the Bullpen Hierarchy With Two Late Inning Arms Returning</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/reviewing-the-bullpen-hierarchy-with-two-late-inning-arms-returning-r16098/</link><description>Things looked bleak for the Twins as the team left Fort Myers a little over a month ago. Jhoan Dur&#xE1;n, Justin Topa, and Caleb Thielbar started the year on the IL, which tested the team&#x2019;s bullpen depth right out of the gate. It would have been understandable for the relief group to collapse and ta...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16098</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2024 14:02:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Does Pablo L&#xF3;pez&#x2019;s First Month Warrant Serious Concern?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/does-pablo-l%C3%B3pezs-first-month-warrant-serious-concern-r16096/</link><description>A month into the 2024 season, Pablo L&#xF3;pez has not pitched as sharply as he did a year ago. Through his first six starts, Lopez has complied a 4.83 ERA, 3.97 FIP, 89 ERA+, and six home runs allowed in 31 &#x2154; innings of work.

	A: Bally Sports, the network that owns the Twins&#x2019; 2024 TV rights, no longer has a contract with Comcast, the cable provider for most of the Twin Cities. They haven&#x2019;t been able to agree on a new one for all of Bally Sports&#x2019; 15 regional...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16106</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 May 2024 07:08:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Make it Official!

To make room on the active roster, the club is designating righty Matt Bowman for release or assignment, per their announcement.

A large part of that is thanks to rookie Austin Martin, who came up on Mar. 30 and immediately made an impact.

He&#x2019;s long past being considered just a LOOGY, and he has shown an ability to overpower any type of hitter, despite being a remade product past its original sell-by date.
