Carlos Correa, the Twins&#x2019; starting shortstop between 2022 and mid-2025, left the following day&#x2019;s game with a migraine and never played a game for Minnesota again.

At the time, Escobar was not all that highly regarded, and his initial run with Minnesota in 2012 and 2013 (negative-0.2...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20370</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 May 2026 11:49:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 4, Red Sox 2: Bradley, Rojas and the Twins Stay on Fire in Boston</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-red-sox-2-bradley-rojas-and-the-twins-stay-on-fire-in-boston-r20374/</link><description>Box Score

Instead, the first half has only created more uncertainty about where this organization is actually headed.

That answer came early this week. Take a look at this Matthew Trueblood article and add your voice here:

They gave Royce Lewis every opportunity to work through his struggles at the major-league level because, for years, he looked like the type of talent worth waiting on. But eventually, potential stops mattering if the production n...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20352</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 11:54:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ryan Kreidler Might Be (a Lot?)

The 28-year-old utility man came to the Minnesota Twins as organizational depth&#x2014;a defense-first player capable of movi...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20357</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 22:06:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Chance Worth Taking: The Twins Are Still in This, Somehow</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-chance-worth-taking-the-twins-are-still-in-this-somehow-r20355/</link><description>By no means have the 2026 Twins gotten lucky. In fact, they can't catch a break. Their run differential (230 runs scored, 231 allowed) implies a 25-25 record, but they're 23-27. They lost their ace to season-ending elbow surgery on the first day of full-squad workouts in the spring, and their&#xA0;in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20355</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 11:58:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Must Matt Wallner Prove at Triple-A Before Returning to Minnesota?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-must-matt-wallner-prove-at-triple-a-before-returning-to-minnesota-r20338/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins have seen this movie before with Matt Wallner. A talented slugger with massive raw power starts the season in a deep slump, gets sent to Triple-A to reset mechanically and mentally, then returns looking like a completely different hitter. That formula worked in 2024. The ques...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20338</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 May 2026 23:08:02 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
