Despite an inconsistent first half, the Minnesota Twins have played better over the last week and continue to hang around the Wild Card race. Entering the middle of June, Minnesota sits just 1.5 games behind the final playoff spot, which is close enough to dre...20543Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:08:18 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-new-pitch-fueling-connor-prielipps-success-r20537/There are few pitchers in the Twins' organization whose raw stuff can match Connor Prielipp's. Ever since his freshman season at the University of Alabama, it was obvious the left-hander possessed the upside of a frontline major-league starter. Injuries altered that path considerably, but now th...20537Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-andrew-morris-the-minnesota-twins-next-relief-success-story-r20538/Perhaps in a different timeline, Andrew Morris is in the back end of the Twins’ rotation, filling in for their many starting pitching injuries. Instead, he was one of the first starting pitching prospects to pivot to a bullpen role, where the team has been desperate for help all season. As the s...20538Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:55:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-this-guy-the-next-willi-castro-r20534/Sometimes, our experiences become our prison wardens, rather than our teachers. Every player we don’t like is “just another Miguel Sanó.” When Derek Shelton manages the bullpen well, he “reminds me of Tom Kelly.” When the bullpen blows up, Shelton “has too much Rocco Baldelli in him.” One s...20534Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:05:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-biggest-strength-could-create-a-major-dilemma-r20529/The Minnesota Twins have no shortage of pitching depth, and that's a great problem to have—especially when situations like the one they're dealing with right now pop up. At the moment, the Twins essentially have two starting rotations: a healthy one and an injured one. Their current major-league...20529Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:52:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-mlb-calendar-is-about-to-decide-twins-2026-trade-deadline-direction-r20526/Every major-league season has natural checkpoints that shape the decisions teams make. Opening Day creates expectations. Memorial Day offers the first meaningful look at the standings. July 4 marks the unofficial launch of trade deadline season.

After he was quickly recalled on June 6, however, the 27-year-old was info...20532Wed, 17 Jun 2026 11:56:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-12-rangers-2-twins-ambush-the-rangers-with-17-hits-in-a-much-needed-laugher-r20530/Box Score SP: Zebby Matthews - 7.0 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K (93 pitches, 68 strikes (73%)) Home Runs: Trevor Larnach (4), Kody Clemens (11) Top 3 WPA: Matthews (0.14), Larnach (0.12), Byron Buxton and Clemens (0.11) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)  The Twins came into Tu...20530Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-continues-to-validate-the-best-decision-in-the-history-of-the-twins-franchise-r20527/I vividly remember the day: December 1st, 2021. I was in Jamaica for a friend's wedding, already steeped in sunny bliss, when I opened my phone and saw the news: Buxton inks 7-year extension to remain a Twin. One of the more joyful moments I can remember.

A strong season can elevate a prospect or veteran into a cornerstone asset, while injuries and prolonged struggles can rapidly alter a player's standing within an organization. Coming into 2026, the Twins believed they had a roster capable of com...20493Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/josh-bell-and-the-sweet-science-of-punishing-mistakes-r20523/Over the years, a somewhat facile narrative has attached itself to Josh Bell: every season, he has one good half, and one bad one. It's not quite true, of course. No player's career divides up that neatly; people just tend to generalize to save themselves time when nuance seems unduly weighty.
