Last season, the Twins had ten pitchers make at least one start, and the club used 14 starters during an injury-plagued 2022 campaign. Minnesota started last year with a f...15805Tue, 19 Mar 2024 19:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jordan-balazovic-jose-miranda-trevor-larnach/Just 10 days away from Opening Day, the Twins have little time left to reduce their roster to 26 active players. On Sunday, we learned that Jhoan Durán, Caleb Thielbar and Anthony DeSclafani will start the season on the Injured List. Josh Winder is already on the 60-day injured list.

It looked to be working for a while, as Buxton jumped out to a hot start at the plate in April, but as his performanc...15841Tue, 19 Mar 2024 15:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/injuries-bullpen-jhoan-duran-thielbar-alcala-staumont/When pitchers and catchers reported to Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex in Fort Myers this Valentine's Day, the Twins were seen to have one of the most formidable bullpens in baseball.
