Twins News
The Minnesota Twins are in a warm groove, following a 7-5 win against the Baltimore Orioles that improved their record to 60-62, signaling a potential resurgence as they head into a matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. With Josh Bell and Brooks Lee heating up, the offense is starting to find its rhythm, averaging 5.1 runs per game over the last week. However, roster moves loom large as the Twins designated Alex Jackson for assignment, leaving them with one less option behind the plate as they prepare for today’s special Field of Dreams Game. Adding to the intrigue, they signed veteran right-hander Germán Márquez to a minor league deal, showing they are looking to bolster their pitching depth. All eyes will be on Byron Buxton as he returns to the lineup, motivated by a financial incentive tied to this nostalgic matchup.
