In the playoffs, the Twins will need fewer starters for the postseason, so the team may have players shift to relief roles. Here are four starting pitchers the Twins might consider for a bullpen shift in the c...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14811</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Aug 2023 17:17:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Where Do the Twins Fit All of the Youth</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-do-the-twins-fit-all-of-the-youth-r14823/</link><description>After injuring his oblique during the middle of the summer, Royce Lewis&#xA0;is back for the Twins on Tuesday night. He played four rehab games with the St. Paul Saints, and his time there was spent at third base.

Julien works counts, doesn't swing at balls outside of the zone, almost to a detriment to himself, and drives pitches to all sides of the field with power and authority.&#xA0;

Chase Petty was the most recent first round pick for the organization, and he was touching 100 mph as a prep arm.
