The late comeback that fell...15022Mon, 18 Sep 2023 22:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-much-should-the-twins-play-carlos-correa-r15005/Back in May, the Twins first announced that Correa was dealing with plantar fasciitis, a lingering foot injury that takes time to go away. Time off his feet can help to deal with the immediate issues surrounding the injury, but it will likely take an entire offseason to recover. Twins manager Ro...15005Mon, 18 Sep 2023 16:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-playoff-odds-and-the-week-ahead-in-the-al-central-and-wild-card-races-r15017/It’s interesting to think how much has changed since the Twins last played playoff baseball. Sure, Minnesota hosted the Houston Astros at Target Field back in 2020 when Josh Donaldson couldn’t go and Alex Kirilloff made his major league debut, but no fans were in attendance. The last true playof...15017Mon, 18 Sep 2023 11:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-fantasy-fix-the-cupboard-is-still-stocked-r15010/Stories of the demise of Minnesota’s farm system were perhaps exaggerated. The Twins did notably move a handful of good prospects in the past few years to acquire the likes of Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle and Jorge Lopez, with the last two deals of course not looking so great at the moment.

Depending on the fan, that response could have any level of emotion to it. Love it or hate it, Rocco loves himself some substitutions....14998Sun, 17 Sep 2023 14:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/josh-winder-throws-a-sinker-now-r14997/About a month ago, the Twins were losing handily to the Tigers when Josh Winder took the mound. Minnesota wasn’t expecting greatness; they just needed someone to eat outs in order for the game to continue to its dreadful conclusion. Sitting 2-0 against Matt Vierling, Winder uncorked his offering...14997Sun, 17 Sep 2023 12:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/white-sox-7-twins-6-l%C3%B3pez-gets-roughed-up-early-rally-comes-too-late-in-loss-r15006/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Pablo López: 5 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 8 K (85 Pitches, 62 Strikes, 73%) Home Runs: None Bottom 3 WPA: López (-.335), Willi Castro (-.270), Max Kepler (-.158) Win Probability Chart (Via Fangraphs): After consecutive 10-2 trouncings of the dysfunctional Whit...15006Sun, 17 Sep 2023 01:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/louie-varland-is-the-x-factor-in-the-twins-bullpen-r14991/Something’s different about Louie Varland since he returned to the big leagues last week.  He has the same Minnesota charm that made him a fan-favorite upon his debut near the end of last season. He’s still showing a knack for giving up the long ball.
