The first batter he faced was Cesar Hernandez who May got ahead 0-2 but then misfired with a fastball up and clipped Hernandez in the shoulder. Hernandez ended up coming around to score on a sac fly by Odubel Herrera. May said later that he felt...5395Fri, 03 Mar 2017 22:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins39-new-coaching-staff-earns-early-positive-reviews-r5394/The first change started on the hitting side.

I doubt Boston would be interested in cash considerations or lower le...5392Fri, 03 Mar 2017 03:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/central-intelligence-cleveland-indians-r5393/2016 At A Glance Record: 94-67 Runs Scored: 777 Runs Allowed: 676 Pythag W/L: 91-70 Pitching WAR Leader: Corey Kluber Hitting WAR Leader: Francisco Lindor Season Recap When previewing Cleveland before the season, here was my summation: Cleveland has a wide range of possible outcomes for the 2016 s...5393Fri, 03 Mar 2017 02:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/phil-hughes-shows-improvement-in-second-spring-start-r5391/Last time, of course, was his two inning, four hit, two run outing at JetBlue Park. It was his first game action since his thoracic outlet syndrome surgery and the Red Sox monsters made loud and consistent contact. His pitches lacked velocity and precision. This time his pitches simply lacked velo...5391Thu, 02 Mar 2017 22:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-2017-it-begins-r5390/Phil Hughes will make his second start of the spring.

For instance, I would say Chris Gimenez is the favorite to win the backup catcher job, and Craig Breslow probably has better than a 50/50 shot at making the bullpen, provided...5385Wed, 01 Mar 2017 04:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-position-battles-backup-catcher-r5384/There are three catchers vying for the backup catcher spot, so let’s consider the pros and cons of each. CHRIS GIMENEZ Let’s start with the most veteran of the group, Chris Gimenez. Thad Levine and Derek Falvey spoke a lot about wanting more veteran leadership on the roster.
