MINNEAPOLIS -- Sequencing matters, and if you need proof, look no farther than the 2026 Twins. Minnesota enjoyed another successful night with the bases loaded, highlighted by Tristan Gray’s second grand slam, en route to a 9-6 win over the White Sox that snapped a five-game losing streak. The Twins

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins are taking a flyer on a high-octane arm, acquiring right-handed reliever Justin Lawrence from the Pirates on Monday night in exchange for cash considerations.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Amid a steady drip of new injuries, the Twins are getting closer to getting one of their key players back. Right-handed reliever Cole Sands will begin a Minor League rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday. Sands has been out since late April due to a right

MINNEAPOLIS -- Ideally, obviously, the Twins would rather not have to do without Bailey Ober at all. But given the range of possibilities, it seems the news they received on Monday regarding Ober’s right elbow was more good than bad. Ober has been diagnosed with a mild right flexor strain,

PITTSBURGH – Already fraying, the Twins’ starting pitching depth took another significant hit Sunday, when the club placed right-hander Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with what it is calling right elbow inflammation. Ober first felt tightness during his start on Saturday, which became discomfort after the game. When

PITTSBURGH – Due to a combination of injuries and struggles, the current Twins roster is fraying in a few places. Through most of the year, the one constant has been the starting rotation. As they go, so goes this team. And right now, they’re not going well. Bailey Ober became

PITTSBURGH – In eight weeks, Simeon Woods Richardson went from solidly in the Twins rotation to off the roster entirely. The right-hander was designated for assignment on Saturday, meaning Minnesota has seven days to trade Woods Richardson or place him on outright or release waivers. He was out of options,

PITTSBURGH -- Even with the degree of difficulty turned up to 10, the Twins bullpen almost pulled off one of their best performances of the year. Instead, they came up two outs short. Working on a pitch count as he returns from injury, Taj Bradley searched for his command all

PITTSBURGH -- Even before they received the results of an MRI exam, the Twins placed rookie left-hander Kendry Rojas on the 15-day injured list. Rojas was scratched from a scheduled start on Thursday due to left elbow soreness. “I think any time you’re scratching a guy in that situation, and

CHICAGO – A Twins pitching staff that has already seen extensive turnover this year appears headed for more. Rookie lefty Kendry Rojas was a late scratch from a scheduled start Thursday due to what the club called “posterior elbow soreness” in his left arm. He returned to Minnesota and will

CHICAGO -- Byron Buxton is quite obviously healthy enough to produce at the plate, but the Twins star is dealing with a couple of knocks that have him currently limited to designated hitter duty. Buxton homered yet again on Wednesday in the Twins’ 15-2 loss to the White Sox, the

CHICAGO -- It’s May. That has to underline any further conversation about this week’s series between the currently playoff-positioned Twins and White Sox. It’s May. There are four months left in the season, because it’s May. With that said, the first two games of this four-game series have felt like

CHICAGO -- Monday brought a somewhat sleepy showing from the Twins’ offense and an end to their four-game winning streak, as Anthony Kay stifled the Minnesota bats in a 3-1 loss to the White Sox. Here are three observations from the Twins’ first loss on their three-city road trip.

MINNEAPOLIS – Through eight weeks of the season, the Twins have gotten saves from nine different pitchers. With the way Andrew Morris handled his chance on Wednesday, that number may stop climbing soon.

MINNEAPOLIS – Few players in baseball bring the combination of defensive ability and versatility that Ryan Kreidler does. He’s a plus defender at shortstop and center field, among other spots, and that combination has gotten him time in the Major Leagues in five consecutive seasons.

MINNEAPOLIS – In the span of 12 hours Monday night and Tuesday morning, the shape of the Twins’ lineup changed drastically as two core pieces were removed. Ryan Jeffers is headed to the injured list with a fractured left hamate bone, and Royce Lewis is bound for the Minor Leagues.

MINNEAPOLIS -- There’s never been any doubt about Kendry Rojas’ stuff. The Twins’ rookie left-hander and No. 10 prospect, acquired last summer in the Trade Deadline deal that sent Louis Varland to Toronto, has elite raw ability. The only question has ever been location. Rojas showed on Monday what he’s

MINNEAPOLIS – Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers was removed from Monday’s 6-3 win against the Astros due to a sprained left wrist. He will be examined further on Tuesday. Leading off the bottom of the eighth, Jeffers fouled off the first pitch against reliever AJ Blubaugh and broke his bat. He

MINNEAPOLIS – More change is coming to the Twins’ seemingly constantly evolving starting rotation. After rolling out the same five starters over the season’s first 23 games, the past four weeks have seen extensive turnover among Minnesota’s starters.

MINNEAPOLIS – After a pair of hard-fought, frustrating losses, the Twins were in dire need of a good win. They got one, thanks to a strong bullpen showing, a home run from Ryan Jeffers and an uncharacteristic defensive lapse by the Brewers. Jeffers hit a go-ahead solo home run in

MINNEAPOLIS – Byron Buxton worked out on the field at Target Field prior to Saturday’s game against the Brewers, a noteworthy step forward as he works to return from a bout of right hip flexor soreness. Buxton remains confident that it will be a matter of days, not weeks, before
