When the fact that Byron Buxton's defensive metrics have gotten steadily worse over the years—indeed, that he's now roughly an average center fielder, and maybe not even that—came up on the Twins TV broadcast on Opening Day, Cory Provus, Glen Perkins...20149Wed, 29 Apr 2026 11:50:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-7-twins-1-a-game-of-two-bullpens-r20216/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Joe Ryan - 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K (88 pitches, 62 strikes (70.5% strikes)) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (7) Lowest WPA: Cole Sands (-0.21), Tristan Gray (-0.16), Victor Caratini (-0.13) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Coming off a win in g...20216Wed, 29 Apr 2026 02:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wholl-give-you-the-big-hit-minnesota-twins-hitter-confidence-rankings-r20207/  Through the first month of the 2026 season, the Twins’ lineup has been a mix of early surprises, consistent contributors, and slow starts. With both traditional stats and advanced metrics in mind, these confidence rankings reflect current production and how sustainable each player’s perfo...20207Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/connor-prielipps-many-splendored-slider-r20211/It's only been two starts, but it's not too early to get deeply intrigued by Connor Prielipp's slider.

Hovering around the .500 mark is not inherently disappointing, especially for a team many projected to be fighting for relevance in the American League Central.

There were interesting arms and a handful of intriguing profiles, but not much certainty. Through the first few weeks, that hasn’t really changed.
