FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Major League Opening Day is set for Thursday, but the Minors get rolling right after that, with Triple-A getting under way on Friday. As the Twins set their roster for the big league team’s season, plans are also coming into place for prospects.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As of Sunday morning, it seemed the Twins’ position-player roster situation was coming into clearer focus. A few hours later, it was looking more muddled again. Infielder Mickey Gasper, who appeared to be on track to make his first Opening Day roster, suffered a left ankle

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Brooks Lee said Friday that his tight lower back had improved since he was scratched from his scheduled appearance Thursday, but it’s unclear how soon he will be able to return to action. Lee went for what he called a precautionary MRI exam after coming into

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins infielder Brooks Lee was a late scratch from his scheduled start at third base on Thursday evening due to what the club called lower back tightness. The concern level over the situation seemed low, and Lee’s status is considered day to day. Still, it’s not

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins third baseman Royce Lewis was his usual cheerful self in the clubhouse on Tuesday morning, less than 48 hours after suffering a left hamstring injury that will keep him out for a matter of weeks. Lewis' spirits are good, he said. He’s frustrated, of course.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- The Twins confirmed Monday what had been widely feared: Royce Lewis will open the 2025 season on the injured list due to a moderate left hamstring strain. It’s unclear at this time how long Lewis will be out, but the word “moderate” indicates that it is a

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins right-hander Matt Canterino underwent right shoulder surgery recently and will miss the entire 2025 season. It’s yet another setback for the former second-round Draft pick, who has not pitched in a regular-season game since 2022 and has never pitched more than 37 innings in a

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins third baseman Royce Lewis was removed from Sunday’s 6-5 loss against the Red Sox due to a left hamstring strain. He will be further evaluated, including receiving an MRI, on Monday. Leading off the bottom of the second inning, Lewis hit a hard grounder to

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins right-hander Chris Paddack dodged serious injury on Saturday when he was struck by a line drive in the third inning. The ball, off the bat of Red Sox second baseman Kristian Campbell, first hit Paddack’s glove before striking him on the side of the head.

TAMPA -- Right-hander Zebby Matthews was removed from Thursday’s 8-4 win over the Yankees due to hip discomfort. Matthews slipped on a ground ball by Paul Goldschmidt and was removed before throwing another pitch. “Leg slipped a little bit, just kind of aggravated,” Matthews said. “Just precautionary. Definitely could have

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Reliever Justin Topa suffered an arm injury during Wednesday’s Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. Topa was removed from the game after seven pitches. “Topa has some right shoulder tightness,” manager Rocco Baldelli said after Minnesota's 5-2 loss at Hammond Stadium. “He got a preliminary look

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins recently suffered a left ankle sprain and is sidelined for the time being. The club estimates that Jenkins, MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 overall prospect, is “one to two weeks behind” as a result of the injury.

MINNEAPOLIS -- If this is it for Max Kepler’s tenure in Minnesota, he says he’s at peace with it. There’s some chance that the longest-tenured player in the organization has played his final game in a Twins uniform, given Tuesday’s news that Kepler will likely not return before the end

ST. PETERSBURG -- Monday marked a huge day in the outfield in Triple-A St. Paul, with implications not only for the remainder of this season, but for the Twins’ future. Not only did Byron Buxton start his long-awaited rehab assignment to put him on the fast track to rejoining the

MINNEAPOLIS -- It was a happy Chris Paddack who played catch from 60 feet on Wednesday at Target Field, trying to get back to the mound after MRIs cleared him from the right forearm strain that has sidelined him since mid-July. But he’s fairly sure he won’t be back for

MINNEAPOLIS -- Buried furthest down in the Twins’ flurry of roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Braves was perhaps the most consequential news for the ultimate trajectory of the season: Joe Ryan will not pitch again this regular season. Ryan was moved to the 60-day injured list as

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins were slated to play not one, but two division race-defining games on Friday. And ahead of arguably their most important games of the regular season to this point, they took not one, but two potentially season-defining injury blows. Top-end starter Joe Ryan -- key to a

CHICAGO -- Joe Ryan has been a steady and reliable presence in the Twins’ starting rotation all season, and a key reason Minnesota is in the thick of the AL Central race. So, it was alarming when he signaled toward the Twins’ dugout in the third inning on Wednesday, moments

DETROIT -- Royce Lewis will settle for just being part of a Twins victory again -- but it’s hard for him and the Twins to ignore his ever-growing track record of homering in his first game back from extended absences, too. That didn’t hold true on Friday, when Lewis was

MINNEAPOLIS -- Fortunately for the Twins and Royce Lewis, it turned out this likely won't be another of those prolonged absences to which they’ve grown all too accustomed over the years. That’s because Lewis is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday after successfully clearing

MINNEAPOLIS -- Though there was some hope that the extended All-Star break would do the banged-up Twins some good, their second half started with two more injury setbacks, with both Carlos Correa (right plantar fasciitis) and Chris Paddack (right forearm strain) heading to the injured list ahead of Saturday’s 8-4

SAN FRANCISCO -- Even though Carlos Correa will miss Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Texas with a foot injury, he and the family are going and 2 1/2-year-old Kylo is ready to meet his favorite player. “Kylo sees Aaron Judge on TV and he goes crazy,” Correa said Sunday before the

MINNEAPOLIS -- Royce Lewis didn’t speak with the media on Wednesday after he was placed on the 10-day IL with a right adductor strain. It’s not that he was too upset to talk. He had a better reason. He was looking out for his newest teammate, Brooks Lee, who was

MINNEAPOLIS -- No one wants to see Royce Lewis suffer another injury. Especially Royce Lewis. But you can’t always get what you want. The Twins placed Lewis on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, a day after their slugging third baseman suffered a Grade 2 strain of his right adductor
