Headed into 2023, the hope was that he was 100% healthy and could pick up where he left off. So far it appears that may not be the case on multiple fronts.

For the second year in a row, the Twins moved their&#xA0;Home Opener to Friday, and this seemed to be the right call. It was less windy and about 12 degrees warmer, and by the end of the game, it felt plenty chilly enough in th...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14028</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 12:16:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 3, White Sox 1: Gray, Bullpen Finish off the White Sox for a Series Win</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-3-white-sox-1-gray-bullpen-finish-off-the-white-sox-for-a-series-win-r14030/</link><description>Box Score

Adding Joey Gallo to the group brings high upside to an outfield already very talented on paper. The problem is most of the players the Twins will be relying on to play the outfield in 2023 are coming off down or injury-plagued y...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14020</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:16:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 4, White Sox 3: Lopez Dominates in another Wild Walk-Off Win!</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-white-sox-3-lopez-dominates-in-another-wild-walk-off-win-r14024/</link><description>Minneapolis - On the heels of their second two-game losing streak in 2023, the Twins sought to take a positive step toward winning another series in Game 2 at Target Field against an old teammate, Lance Lynn. Pablo Lopez started the game off shaky, committing an error, allowing three hits, and s...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14024</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2023 02:29:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Catching Up With Tyler Duffey</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/catching-up-with-tyler-duffey-r14019/</link><description>ST. PAUL &#x2013; Tyler Duffey&#x2019;s tenure with the Minnesota Twins did not end how he hoped it would in 2022. He made his last appearance in a Twins uniform on August 4, and surrendered three runs on four hits and a walk in just 1 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.&#xA0;

What could soften the blow was a level of production from the incoming Pablo Lopez.

Buxton&#x2019;s injury history is well documented. Minnesota&#x2019;s All-Star center fielder has only played over 100 games in one big-league season. His value to the Twins is undeniable, with 48 home runs in his last 16...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14015</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Apr 2023 12:16:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>White Sox 4, Twins 3: Twins Cease and Desisted Against White Sox</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/white-sox-4-twins-3-twins-cease-and-desisted-against-white-sox-r14018/</link><description>Despite a number of errors in the field from the White Sox defense, the Twins couldn't muster up enough momentum at the plate in a 4-3 loss in the series opener on Monday afternoon.&#xA0;Facing off against White Sox standout Dylan Cease, the Twins left nine runners on base and were 1-for-7 with runne...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14018</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Apr 2023 21:04:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ryan's Strong Start versus Astros Addressed his Main Weakness</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ryans-strong-start-versus-astros-addressed-his-main-weakness-r14009/</link><description>In 2022, Joe Ryan emerged as a quality starting pitcher and became one of a few bright spots on an otherwise lackluster pitching staff. He cemented his fastball as one of the best in the league and led the Twins in innings pitched, all as a rookie.&#xA0;
