Twins News
The Minnesota Twins activated outfielder Austin Martin from the 10-day injured list, a move that could breathe some life into a faltering season as they sit at 69-77, staring down the barrel of an AL Wild Card elimination. With a disheartening 2-5 record over the past week, including a disappointing 2-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers, the Twins now face a critical series against the Cleveland Guardians, who are vying for a postseason spot themselves. Time is running out, and as the pressure builds, players like Brooks Lee are stepping up their game, having focused on improving their skills during the offseason. Meanwhile, Zebby Matthews could be a wildcard in the bullpen, potentially filling holes as the team scrambles to stay relevant in the playoff race. This weekend will be a true test for the Twins, who need to find their spark fast.
