Things are feeling good. The rehabilitation is progressing, the pain is improving, and baseball activities are resumed. And then it happens. A misplaced step, a twist of the leg, or a slide into second base, and all of a sudden, the 1,000-p...21070Mon, 31 Aug 2026 22:03:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-weekend-of-measurables-on-twins-rookie-phenom-walker-jenkins-r21069/The first thing you notice about Walker Jenkins is his size. In a profession where almost everyone is big and strong, he looks big and strong even by comparison. When the Twins called him up late last week, they placed Jenkins's locker between those of Kody Clemens and Trevor Larnach in the home...21069Mon, 31 Aug 2026 18:28:40 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-playoff-hopes-are-slipping-but-their-2027-draft-position-is-rising-r21067/The Minnesota Twins are running out of time to save their season. With the calendar flipping to September, the team's playoff hopes are slipping away. Every loss makes the postseason picture a little more difficult to see, and Minnesota's recent stretch of poor play has put the team in a positio...21067Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:43:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/envisioning-the-2027-twins-starting-lineup-r21064/The Twins' offense has not been a strength this year, nor has it been a weakness. By wOBA and fWAR, they have been exactly average, ranking 15th out of 30 MLB teams. They are 10th overall in runs scored, thanks mostly to an unsustainable RISP rate that has faded in the second half, but have fall...21064Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-sliding-into-september-r21063/The Weekly Nutshell: The Twins had fallen six games below .500, with their playoff odds sinking toward single digits, by the time they finally made the move we've all been waiting for: promoting top prospect Walker Jenkins to the big leagues. Jenkins debuted at Target Field on Friday night and...21063Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:02:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-5-white-sox-1-zebby-matthews-stops-the-bleeding-twins-avoid-sweep-r21062/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Zebby Matthews: 8 1/3 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K (103 Pitches, 67 Strikes, 65%) Home Runs: Luke Keaschall (9) Bottom 3 WPA: Matthews (0.27), Josh Bell (0.16), Trevor Larnach (0.13) Win Probability Chart (Via BaseballSavant): It's been strange watching t...21062Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-found-their-leadoff-hitter-now-and-for-the-future-r21054/There was a time when the leadoff hitter had a very specific job description. Get on base. Run. Put pressure on the defense. Speed was often the defining characteristic. If a player could hit .280, steal 30 bases and create havoc on the basepaths, he was a natural fit for the top of the lineup....21054Sun, 30 Aug 2026 17:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-may-have-waited-too-long-on-walker-jenkins-r21043/There is no way to know whether Walker Jenkins would have changed the Minnesota Twins' season. That is the uncomfortable part of this conversation. Maybe he would have arrived at Target Field and struggled. Maybe the transition to the majors would have exposed areas of his game that haven't...21043Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/white-sox-3-twins-2-solid-pitching-same-result-another-series-slips-away-r21058/Box Score SP: Bailey Ober - 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K (80 pitches, 53 strikes (72% strikes)) Home Runs: None Bottom 3 WPA: Kaelen Culpepper (-0.17); Brooks Lee (-0.15), Royce Lewis (-0.08) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The Twins set out to try and get the same momentum duri...21058Sat, 29 Aug 2026 21:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-connor-prielipps-rotation-spot-in-jeopardy-r21038/Connor Prielipp's season has been a roller coaster, and it might be reaching the top of the final hill. He got roughed up again in his last outing, and with Joe Ryan potentially nearing a return, it's fair to start wondering whether Prielipp's spot in the Minnesota Twins rotation is safe down th...21038Sat, 29 Aug 2026 13:30:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-future-is-now-for-the-minnesota-twins-r21052/We’re officially a month away from the 2026 MLB regular season coming to an end. For the Twins, the year as a whole hasn’t been exactly what they hoped for. There have been some highs, but ultimately, Minnesota is currently seven games below .500 and tied for seventh in the American League...21052Sat, 29 Aug 2026 11:24:02 +0000
