The lineup looked thin, and the departure of key bats raised real concerns about run production. At the same time, the Twins appeared to have a surplus of starting pitching, both at the major-league level and in...18488Wed, 11 Jun 2025 22:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-umpires-against-the-minnesota-twins-ump-scorecards-suggest-so-r18493/For much of the 2025 season, the Minnesota Twins have fought through injuries, offensive slumps, and bullpen inconsistencies. But one factor flying under the radar has quietly worked against them all season long: the men in blue behind home plate. According to data from Ump Scorecards, an i...18493Wed, 11 Jun 2025 18:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/zebby-matthews-has-grade-2-subscapularis-strain-how-long-will-minnesota-twins-be-without-young-hurler-r18489/The Minnesota Twins lost another starting pitcher for the foreseeable future when they placed Zebby Matthews on the 15-day IL with what was initially reported as a "shoulder strain." The Twins provided more details on Tuesday evening, revealing that the righty suffered a moderate strain of his s...18489Wed, 11 Jun 2025 16:04:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-marco-raya-help-the-minnesota-twins-bullpen-this-season-r18484/The Twins added Marco Raya to the 40-man roster a few offseasons ago, to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. It was well known that he was likely still a reasonable distance away from the big leagues, but it was a small move to make to ensure opposing teams didn’t snatch him away. Fast-forward to...18484Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:48:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rangers-16-twins-4-twins-embarassed-at-home-against-weak-hitting-rangers-r18486/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Simeon Woods Richardson 4.2 IP, 7 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 4 K (98 pitches, 53 strikes (54%)) Home Runs: Matt Wallner (5) Bottom 3 WPA: Woods Richardson (-.350), Justin Topa (-.138), Wallner (-.075) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)  If a team makes noise...18486Wed, 11 Jun 2025 02:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/schr%C3%B6dingers-first-baseman-has-ty-france-had-a-successful-year-r18481/In a vacuum, the Ty France signing has been a success. Any time a team can get value from a $1-million signing via free agency, that’s a victory. If your measuring stick is salary versus FanGraphs WAR dollar value, then I guess that’s enough. If you believe that having a non-embarrassment on the...18481Tue, 10 Jun 2025 22:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/simeon-woods-richardsons-triple-a-reset-what-did-he-learn-before-rejoining-the-twins-r18474/When the Minnesota Twins optioned Simeon Woods Richardson back to Triple-A St. Paul in May, it wasn’t necessarily a demotion fueled by panic or disappointment. Instead, it was a chance to recalibrate. The young right-hander had flashed promise in his big-league outings earlier this season, but h...18474Tue, 10 Jun 2025 15:55:53 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-kody-clemens-turning-back-into-a-pumpkin-r18470/After winning the Philadelphia Phillies' final bench spot over right-handed utility infielder Buddy Kennedy this spring, Kody Clemens appeared in just six games from Mar. 29 through Apr. 18, hitting .000/.167/.000 with a -36 wRC+ over six plate appearances.

For years, fans had been clamoring for the front office to invest in a frontline starting pitcher. Mahle, just 27 years old and un...18476Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/harrison-bader-probably-wont-continue-to-be-an-everyday-player-for-minnesota-twins-and-thats-ok-r18478/In each of the past three seasons, the Minnesota Twins have signed a fourth outfielder to a one-year deal. They have needed Byron Buxton insurance in center field, and having a starting-caliber center fielder on the bench has allowed for defensive flexibility late in games. It's also allowed for...18478Tue, 10 Jun 2025 11:36:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-how-matt-wallner-conquered-kevin-gausman-r18465/At-bats don’t exist without context.

Matt Wallner entered the game Saturday with a single and a walk against Kevin Gausman i...18465Mon, 09 Jun 2025 16:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-have-no-choice-but-to-remove-the-training-wheels-for-david-festa-r18469/David Festa has awesome stuff. That's easy to see, and it has translated into results. In his MLB career, he has struck out 77 hitters in 64 ⅓ innings with a 13% swing-and-miss rate. These are excellent numbers, especially for a young pitcher still finding his way in the big leagues. On top of t...18469Mon, 09 Jun 2025 14:07:01 +0000
