Latest news and updates about the Twins
The conditions at Fenway Park were sloppy for Sunday’s series finale between the Red Sox and Twins. It rained at various intensities from the first pitch to the last, and while the grounds crew did an excellent job keeping the field playable, the conditions were a factor. For the Red Sox, that manifested in the […]
Based on the forecast when this holiday weekend began, it did not look like baseball would be played this Sunday afternoon. But with the rain hewing closing to drizzle than downpour, “play ball!” was called! “Tarps off”, as the kids would say. It proved to be a good development for the Minnesota Twins, who swept […]
First Chuck: 12:35 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Over the Monster This weekend, the Minnesota Twins are on the east coast for some Beantown baseball against the Boston Red Sox. About a week and a half ago, I was also on the east […]
The Red Sox are looking to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins today on a rainy s Sunday. They’ll give the ball to Sonny Gray, who probably hopes the game is postponed so he can pitch on a day that is better described by his first name rather than his […]
Recap Jovani Moran had the responsibility to keep the Twins in check for the first inning in order to provide a soft landing for Brayan Bello in his bulk-pitching era. Well, today wasn’t that day: Moran allowed hits to the first three Twins batters, then a run-scoring sacrifice fly immediately after that. Despite needing all […]
The Twins have won five of their last six series after bringing home a near-heartbreaker on Saturday afternoon, 4-2 over the Boston Red Sox. It was another great early start for the Twins, who knocked around opener Jovani Moran with a two-run first, logging hits in each of their first three at-bats, and seeing RBIs […]
First Pitch: 3:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy I’m not really sure why I’m more optimistic right now about the 2026 Twins than I have been at any point of the season so far. My best guess is that, by all accounts, the team is not as catastrophically bad […]
Hold onto your hats (and your hearts) folks. We have Jovani Moran on the mound to start, who’ll soon make way for Brayan Bello. Bello has been good in two relief/opener outings with this guardrail in place but with an overall 2-5 record, a 7.15 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.80, he feels like a […]
Cole Ragans will begin a rehab assignment at Omaha, writes Jaylon Thompson. He is set to start Saturday’s game for the Storm Chasers against the St. Paul Saints — the Triple-A minor-league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. “We have him scheduled for four to five innings,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “(It’s) 65 pitches, something […]
Studs Peyton Tolle (6.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks) Look, did Tolle have a rough second inning? For sure. But this was a truly professional outing for Tolle that he hunkered down and put down Twin after Twin through the remaining four frames. For a young starter, this is the growth you want […]
In the battle of Two Struggling Teams with Two Rookie Starters, it seemed like the Sox had the edge with Fenway mystique intimidating Connor Prielipp… until the Twins got to a Red Sox bullpen that had been pretty good so far this year. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: I mentioned that rookie Payton Tolle was a pretty […]
Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis joining Matt Wallner in St. Paul, the Twins losing Ryan Jeffers for 6-8 weeks, Gabriel Gonzalez's short-term arrival, choosing Orlando Arcia over Kaelen Culpepper, and Taj Bradley getting close.

These teams honestly could be twins this seasons…almost identical records, not great offenses, stuck in weird places. Still, these Minnesota Twins shouldn’t be taken lightly, as the funniest man on the team takes the mound for the Sox tonight!

The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
After an up-and-down start to the 2006 campaign, the Minnesota Twins hoped to settle in and recapture the AL Central crown. Alas, through May and into one fateful June night in the Pacific Northwest, the endeavor looked more bottoming-out than regrouped-contender. Heading into a Twinkie Town After Dark ™ contest with the Seattle Mariners on […]
Spoiler alert: He's looked really, really good.
The big news, this afternoon, is that Jose Berrios had full Tommy John surgery, so he’ll be out for a year at very least. The good news keeps coming. The told us yesterday that they were going to ‘remove loose bodies’ in his elbow and see what else needs fixing. I’m sure when Berrios woke […]

Carew delivers first cycle in Twins history kkundahl Wed, 2026-05-20 09:43 Rod Carew became the first Twins player to hit for the cycle on May 20, 1970. Khadifi Madison Rod Carew ended the 1969 season winning the American League batting title with a .332 average while helping his Minnesota Twins win the inaugural American League West title. The Twins began the following year in a similar fashion, posting a 24-10 record. And Carew was just as dominant. Rod Carew bec...
Jeffers was off to a great start offensively and defensively, and the impending free agent will be nearly impossible for the Twins to replace.
The Minnesota Twins had a busy day. Royce Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul, the second member of Minnesota's Opening Day lineup to be sent down in the past week following Matt Wallner's demotion. Ryan Jeffers broke his left hamate bone on a foul ball Monday night and will likely require surgery, sidelining their best offensive producer for a significant stretch. Veterans Orlando Arcia and Alex Jackson were recalled to fill the positional gaps. And in the middle of all of it, rig...
Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]
