Twins News
The Minnesota Twins' struggles deepened as they lost 10-9 to the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking a miserable 2-5 week and a dismal -18 run differential over those games. Adding insult to injury, the team placed Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation, leaving an already thin rotation in even worse shape. Byron Buxton's absence from the lineup didn't help matters either, highlighting the team's ongoing injury woes as they continue to limp through the season with a 27-32 record. As the Twins look to rebound, they’ll need fresh arms, prompting the call-up of Mike Paredes for his major league debut. The pitching depth is officially on trial, and unless the bats can wake up, the Twins might find themselves sinking further in the AL Central.
