Wallner had an .847 OPS before suffering a significant hamstring strain on April 15...18296Wed, 14 May 2025 11:37:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-are-fun-again-where-things-stand-at-the-one-quarter-mark-r18295/Coming into the 2025 season, the Twins were the odds-on favorite to win the division. Since then... Look, it’s been a weird start to the season. Remember just a couple of weeks ago, when it appeared the season was all but over for the good guys?

He's hitting it on the ground more; he's pulling it in the air less. His swing speed is down; his chase rate is up. He's generating lower batting and slugging averages on contact,...18291Mon, 12 May 2025 14:09:50 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-rallying-back-to-relevance-r18288/The Weekly Nutshell: As they stumbled through the first month of the season, the Twins had their occasional moments of positivity and progress, but those fleeting bursts of momentum never seemed to sustain.
