Twins News
The Minnesota Twins continue to struggle as they sit at 16-23 after yesterday's disappointing 4-6 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Adding to the woes, the team placed Taj Bradley on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right pec muscle, a hit to their pitching depth amidst a rough stretch where they've allowed 7.4 runs per game over the last week. On a brighter note, Byron Buxton is heating up, hitting his 13th home run of the season in an extra-inning win earlier in the week, showcasing the flashes of brilliance that keep fans hanging on. With the rain delay looming over today's rematch against the Guardians, the Twins need to channel that energy and capitalize on any momentum to turn the ship around.
