Latest news and updates about the Twins
It was another slightly disappointing week, with the Twins splitting a four-game series with the White Sox, and then losing a series to the Royals. The team will now face Detroit and St. Louis this week. Royce Lewis returned to the team on Saturday after lighting up St. Paul with homer after homer, and he […]
Lewis played first base and second base in his first two games back in the Twins' lineup, and their crowded infield may soon be adding a top-100 prospect.
Royce Lewis has entered a crossroads in his tenure with the Minnesota Twins. The former No. 1 overall pick, who looked like a franchise cornerstone during the 2023 postseason, looked lost. He was flailing at pitches out of the zone. The trademark confidence that allowed him to proclaim he “doesn’t do that slump thing” was gone.

After a devastating blown-save loss yesterday afternoon, today the again Byron Buxton-less Minnesota Twins looked to at least hold serve in this four-game series with the Kansas City Royals. It didn’t happen—and somehow it didn’t happen in exactly the fashion you’d probably expect (terrible bullpen & no offense until it was too late). The homesteaders […]
Something I wrote in Friday night’s recap keeps parading through my mind. This team was constructed to be a team with a high floor and enough talent to play consistently above-average, but without top-end potential outside Bobby Witt Jr. and Cole Ragans. The flaw with this build shows in road trips like the one they’re […]

St. Paul – When the Minnesota Twins optioned Matt Wallner and Royce Lewis down to Triple-A, they wanted them to have a full reset. They allowed them to take as much time as needed. Royce Lewis made his stay in St. Paul short. The Twins called him back up on Saturday after he hit 10 home runs over 15 games, and Matt Wallner may not be far behind him.
Royce Lewis is back in the majors, as the Twins announced that the infielder has been called up from Triple-A St. Paul.

Close and late situations are not the friend of the 2026 Minnesota Twins.

It was a pitcher’s duel all day in the Twin Cities. The offense’s got going late, but it was the Royals getting the last laugh, beating the Twins 3-2 after a 2-run top of the 9th inning. Carter Jensen hit a leadoff homer to the right field seats off Joe Ryan. The first career leadoff […]

The Minnesota Twins recalled Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul, and James Outman paid the price.

A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
Despite a rain delay of over an hour, the game started off so well for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. took a one-out walk, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double, then Jac Caglianone drove him in with his own double. The Royals wouldn’t score again until a weak groundout in the ninth brought home Caglianone […]
For the second game in a row, the Royals won with ninth-inning runs. Tonight, perhaps they can make things a little bit easier on those of us who already suffer from various heart, blood pressure, or anxiety diseases. Michael Wacha will take the mound for KC. His last start, against Texas, didn’t go so great. […]
