Twins News
The Minnesota Twins are gearing up for a critical series against the struggling New York Mets, who are setting the stage to recall righty Christian Scott, making his return from Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, the Twins are reinforcing their bullpen by signing veteran reliever Luis García to a minor league deal, hoping to tap into his experience as they navigate a rough patch. This past week, the Twins showed potential in their offense, outscoring opponents by ten runs, yet they dropped to third in the division after failing to capitalize in winnable games against the Reds. With the rotation led by Joe Ryan, the team must tighten up their defense and find consistency in clutch situations if they want to regain momentum and turn this lukewarm start into something more promising.
Twins Upcoming Schedule
The Minnesota Twins visit the Tampa Bay Rays for a 3-game series starting Friday.
