Ty Langenberg Is Filling A Void In Triple-A St. Paul
Ty Langenberg didn’t think he’d be at Triple-A this early in the season. But with constant turnover on the Minnesota Twins’ major league roster due to injuries or players being DFA’d, someone has had to step up and fill the open spots left on the St. Paul Saints roster. Langenberg has been one of those someones.
Will Dissly Is An Interesting Free-Agent Option For Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers already have a star tight end in Tucker Kraft. Still, the depth behind him feels incomplete when it comes to the traditional in-line role. Luke Musgrave is more of a field-stretching weapon, while Josh Whyle fits better as a movable H-back type. Because of that, free-agent tight end Will Dissly could make sense as a veteran option to help fill that in-line role.
Tristan Gray Experienced It All In Monday Night’s Twins Win
Minneapolis – It was a whirlwind of a night for Minnesota Twins shortstop Tristan Gray. Four pitches into the game, he committed a fielding error on a ball that bounced off starter Joe Ryan’s glove and allowed Chicago White Sox leadoff man Sam Antonacci to reach. Fortunately for Gray and the Twins, it was only positive from there.

Locks MLB (0.5 Unit) Cam Schlittler Under 1.5 Earned Runs (+100; Odds via Fanduel): 6:05 PM CT on MLB.TV If it’s Cam Schlittler Day, then I’m looking for the best way possible to back him turning off the power of his opponent. His past 8 starts have seen only one team tag him for multiple earned runs, and it’s only happened 3 times all season.
The Sam Darnold Effect Is Alive And Well After Vikings’ GM Hire
On a spring night in 2024, the Minnesota Vikings announced they had signed Sam Darnold. The reaction from fans was negative. Darnold was known for “seeing ghosts” during his time with the New York Jets. It also didn’t help that the Vikings let Kirk Cousins leave to get a bag from the Atlanta Falcons, leading to more uncertainty about the team’s future.
How Much Is the Twins’ Pitching Depth Being Tested?
Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins received some good news on the pitching front on Monday. Right-handed starter Bailey Ober, who the Twins placed on the injured list on Sunday with a right forearm strain, was officially diagnosed with a mild flexor strain. They will shut him down for 10 to 14 days, general manager Jeremy Zoll shared on Monday. “We are gonna have Dr.
Cole Sands To Start Rehab, Ryan Jeffers Progressing Well Post-Surgery
Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins will be getting one of their relievers back in the near future. Before Monday’s game against the Chicago White Sox, Twins manager Derek Shelton shared that right-handed pitcher Cole Sands will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul. Sands, 28, has been out since April 29 with a right forearm strain. He had a 4.
MarShawn Lloyd Is the Backrooms
It’s difficult to find the right word to describe the Josh Jacobs situation, given the fraught nexus of legal technicality, business reality, and human empathy. Brian Gutekunst and the rest of the front office must remain patient amid the uncertainties of the ongoing investigation, but conversely, they cannot wait to begin forming some kind of a plan.
Should the Packers Consider A T.J. Slaton Reunion?
The Green Bay Packers’ defense ranked 18th in rushing EPA allowed last season and finished 15th in total rushing yards allowed. It’s difficult to win consistently in December and January when you cannot stop the run. That’s part of why a reunion with Tedarrell Slaton could make plenty of sense for Green Bay.
Burnsville’s Aaron Rozek Has Returned Home For Another Shot
St. Paul – Aaron Rozek had something happen to him this past offseason that had never happened to him before. As a pitcher whom the Minnesota Twins signed out of the independent leagues, he had never known what the experience was like to be drafted.

Locks MLB (0.75 Unit) San Diego Padres/Washington Nationals Over 9 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 12:35 PM CT on MLB.TV The Nationals just keep doing what they do, turning every game into a slugfest that hits the over. As the league’s best over team, both overall and in home games, Washington takes their blend of poor pitching and elite scoring to force even teams like San Diego into overs.
Savion Williams Still Has Untapped Potential
The Green Bay Packers will have to find a way to replace over 400 targets and 260 receptions vacated by Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, who are no longer on the roster. That’s a massive portion of the passing game they must account for.
The Vikings Hired the Right GM For Their Current Moment
There had to be a funny moment in former Seattle Seahawks GM Nolan Teasley’s interview with the Minnesota Vikings when they asked him about roster building. Teasley likely had an answer prepared when mentioning the quarterback.
Domani Jackson Is Green Bay’s Biggest Rookie Mystery To Solve
As a former five-star prospect and top-15 recruit in the country, expectations were that cornerback Domani Jackson would turn out to be a future first-round pick in the NFL.While it didn’t pan out that way, Jackson heard his name called this April. However, it was in the sixth round from the Green Bay Packers. Jackson is now Green Bay’s biggest rookie mystery.

Locks NBA (0.75 Unit) San Antonio Spurs @ OKC Thunder -0.5 First Quarter (-110; Odds via Fanduel): 7:00 PM CT on NBC Don’t ask me who wins this game, my heart and brain are likely to give different answers. The bounce backs off losses are real though, both in this postseason overall and in this series, giving OKC a clear early edge.
