Minnesota Twins Headlines

The Minnesota Twins are dealing with a wave of injuries just as they claimed righty Zak Kent off waivers from the Cardinals, an essential move given the absence of Pablo López, who will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing an internal brace procedure. Adding to the concern, David Festa is likely to start the season on the injured list with a shoulder impingement, sidelining him for at least a few weeks. Royce Lewis adds to the drama, being scratched from today's game against the Pirates due to tightness on his right side. With Ryan Jeffers expected to throw bullpens this weekend, the Twins face mounting pressure to solidify their rotation as they march toward the season. Amidst the turmoil, top prospect Walker Jenkins is aiming to achieve a milestone that has eluded him, serving as a reminder of the potential that still exists within the organization.
