Twins News
Byron Buxton's ongoing hip issues are raising alarms as the Twins hover around .500 with a 64-70 record. With only 93 games played this season, it's becoming increasingly clear that Buxton's time as the team's cornerstone is in jeopardy, especially with whispers of potential offseason surgery. Meanwhile, rookie Walker Jenkins made a splash in his MLB debut, receiving a standing ovation, a bright spot amidst the grim 2-5 stretch that has left the Twins with a -13 run differential over the past week. As Jenkins steps onto the stage, many wonder if a changing of the guard is underway, signaling a future where Buxton’s role may diminish as new talent emerges. With the next series against the Chicago White Sox looming, the Twins need to rally quickly.
