It’s hard to think about the Major League Baseball trade deadline and not think about Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell. After three straight years of getting traded at the deadline, Bell saw a season out with the Washington Nationals in 2025. However, this year, it’s trending toward another summer changing uniforms for the switch […]

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is August 3rd at 6 p.m. ET, which may seem like a while away at first glance, but given how fast the season moves, it won’t be long before rumors swirl and moves are made. Every playoff team (and non-playoff team) will want in on the action for the […]
Houston Astros SS Jeremy Pena showed up to Daikin Park today and reported some “left leg discomfort” according to manager Joe Espada. As a result, Pena was kept out of tonight’s 5-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins. After the game, Espada announced Pena would be placed on the 10-day IL with a “mild calf strain”. […]
Wheewwwww. Everyone relax, have your drink of choice, and take a deep breath. It may not feel like it, but the Twins did, indeed, win that game. Things were actually going quite well for 90% of this game. Let’s start on the mound where Zebby Matthews delivered another very solid start. I remain a bit […]
The Twins came into Monday Night leading the American League in runs scored for the month of June. Unfortunately for the Astros, they kept the hot bats going, launching multiple homeruns in a 5-4 win before an announced crowd of 22,969. Royce Lewis and Victor Caratini would go back-to-back with solo blasts in the 4th […]
Byron Buxton wasn't in the Minnesota Twins lineup on Monday in Houston, and he's dealing with a nagging hip again.
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (42-44) will wear their City Connect uniforms tonight as they open a week-long, six-game homestand with the first of three games against the visiting Minnesota Twins (40-45). RHP Peter Lambert (6-4, 3.28 ERA), who’s won four straight decisions, will open the homestand for Houston opposite RHP Zebby Matthews (3-5, 4.56 […]

Over the weekend Anthony Banda became the latest Minnesota Twins pitcher to suffer an injury. Monday, he was placed on the IL.
The Twins placed left-hander Anthony Banda on the 15-day injured list today. Right-hander Cody Laweryson was recalled as the corresponding move. Manager Derek Shelton tells Matthew Leach of MLB.com that Banda’s injury is significant, with his recovery to take months rather than weeks. Banda, 32, was acquired from the Dodgers in a February trade. He […]
Midway through the 2026 season, it’s still hard to get a grasp on the Minnesota Twins. They entered Sunday 2.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot in the American League. Still, with a 39-45 record, it’s hard to tell if they’re contenders or just a team benefiting from an expanded postseason format. In many ways, the Twins are running out of time to find out. The Aug.
Griffin Jax took the ball in Kansas City on July 3, 2021, for what was his fifth career appearance, only this time it did not come via a long trot from the bullpen. Jax had moved into the rotation and was being tried as a starter for Minnesota. It was an experiment that did not […]

The Twins welcomed the Dodgers and the Rockies to Target Field this past week, and it went pretty much how any fan would have expected. The Twins had some of the highest-attended games, with a sellout crowd on Wednesday of 39,853 to watch Shohei Ohtani duel Joe Ryan. Ironically, the team was woefully unprepared for […]
Before 2023, if you were a fan of both an AL and an NL team that were not a part of the same divisions of their respective leagues, you would be lucky if you saw them play against each other once every three years. Therefore, the Minnesota Twins rarely played the Colorado Rockies.
Every starting Twins infielder — Brooks Lee, Royce Lewis, Kody Clemens, and now Keaschall — changed positions in the past month. More change is coming.
Everyone deserves second chances.

After late-inning shenanigans in many of the Rockies’ recent games, the Colorado Rockies came into their Sunday afternoon rubber match against the Minnesota Twins looking for another series win. However, the Rockies’ bats went quiet against the Twins pitching staff, wasting a fairly well-pitched game by their own arms. Another quality start for Ryan Feltner […]
After being swept by the presiding World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers this past week, the Minnesota Twins were looking for a “get right” series this weekend with the Colorado Rockies. They got it–taking two-of-three from the Colorado kids and keeping their quest for .500 in the right direction. Twins SP Connor Prielipp’s afternoon did not […]

Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins have used Andrew Morris in various roles out of the bullpen this season. He’s been a long relief man, an opener, and now is settling into a short relief role. He’s only thrown a full inning or less dating back to June 10. Over those nine outings, Andrew Morris has pitched to a 1.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Max Kepler played his first game of the 2026 Major League Baseball season on Friday after serving an 80-game suspension due to testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. In January, the 12-year veteran tested positive for epitrenbolone, a metabolite of trenbolone that’s found in some bodybuilding products and has been used in…
Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins traded Willi Castro and Edouard Julien to different teams at different times. For Castro, it came nearly a year ago, during Minnesota’s fire sale at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline, to the Chicago Cubs for prospects Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong.
On the back of three Hunter Goodman homers, the Colorado Rockies put up another eight runs tonight, and this time, it was enough to take home the victory. Colorado’s #3-hitting DH earned five RBI on the night, popping two homers off starter Mike Paredes, who went a career-best 5.1 innings, then one more off Kody […]
