Minnesota has called up outfielder Emmanuel Rodriguez, giving the 23-year-old top prospect his first opportunity to establish himself at the big-league level.

In just 2 1/3 innings, Matthews allowed two hits and four walks while giving up five earned runs.

They&#x2019;re following their recent trend of playing particularly ugly baseball down the stretch, so it&#x2019;s time to start considering some changes.

When it became clear that the team would not trust Josh Bell or Victor Caratini with regular playing time at first base, Clemens played there for a while, even though it might be his wor...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">21130</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2026 11:08:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Should Derek Shelton Return as Manager of the Twins in 2027?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-derek-shelton-return-as-manager-of-the-twins-in-2027-r21104/</link><description>As the Twins close out another disappointing season (though, at least, one that raised expectations and began cementing the cornerstones for the next generation), there will be plenty of blame to go around.
