Twins News
The Minnesota Twins continue to shuffle their roster, claiming right-hander Jack Anderson off waivers from Boston, a move that coincides with Anthony Banda's shift to the 60-day injured list after his lat surgery. This roster maneuver comes as the Twins aim to bolster their pitching depth while dealing with a staggering nine players on the injured list. Meanwhile, excitement brews for the future as the Twins selected Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey with the third overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, marking their highest selection since Joe Mauer. With the revamped roster struggling at a 46-49 record and just falling short against the Angels, fans are left hoping this new blood can inject some much-needed spark into the team's lukewarm season.
