Aaron and John talk about Royce Lewis' return to the Twins' lineup, why it's time to call up top prospect Kaelen Culpepper, a banged-up Byron Buxton continuing to slug, and Taj Bradley and Zebby Matthews going through similar issues in the rotation.
The New York Yankees are steadily being linked to potential trades for a backup catcher. Yankees backstops have performed so terribly in June thus far, and it’s largely due to Austin Wells’ struggles, which were unforeseen heading into the 2026 season. New York has been rolling with Ali Sanchez and JC Escarra lately, and that […]

Minnesota's system is deep with volatile players who are risky either for a skill-based reason or due to injury.
My college journalism courses taught me to never bury the lede of a story. Sorry, University of Minnesota-Morris English profs—but I’m going to do just that here in pursuit of dramatic effect. The 2026 Minnesota Twins bullpen has set a franchise record in the realm of saves. Before the big reveal, let’s take a brief […]
The Detroit Tigers wrapped up their homestand on Thursday afternoon with an 11-0 shellacking of the Minnesota Twins to give the team its seventh win in nine tries so far in June. Already, AJ Hinch and Co. have exceeded their win total for May with just under 2/3 of the month remaining. Not too shabby. […]

The post Tigers claim ex-Dodgers outfielder after being DFA’d by Twins appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Detroit Tigers made a little move after Thursday’s series win over the Minnesota Twins. They transferred Javier Báez to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man roster spot. That spot went to outfielder James Outman, who they claimed off of waivers from those very same Twins. Báez suffered a high ankle sprain sliding into […]
The Tigers announced Thursday that they’ve claimed outfielder James Outman off waivers from the Twins. Detroit’s 40-man roster was full, but they created space by shifting infielder/outfielder Javier Báez from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL. The Tigers will need to create an active roster space for Outman before tomorrow’s game, given that he’s […]
Don’t call it a comeback, but the Tigers bounced back for an 11-0 victory over the Twins on Thursday afternoon. After a rough loss on Wednesday, the Tigers were happy for two things: no immediate rain in the forecast, and a chance to redeem themselves on the Thursday afternoon rubber match. They still had a […]
The Minnesota Twins were probably looking to end this stretch against American League Central opponents on a high note by taking the rubber match against the Detroit Tigers. However, the Tigers came out swinging early and often against Zebby Matthews, and… well… if you were planning to write home about this game, I wouldn’t. Detroit […]

Culpepper has been extremely good for a 23-year-old at Triple-A and the Twins' shortstop situation has been a season-long weakness.
The Detroit Tigers have been on fire this month, but on Wednesday night they cooled off a bit, taking their second loss of June against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park, 6-4. Framber Valdez struggled, surrendering a pair of home runs, while the offense just did not have enough juice to keep up. However, Kevin […]
The Kaelen Culpepper hype train is full speed ahead right now. The Twins have lost 10 of their last 14 while getting very little production out of the shortstop position, both offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Culpepper just keeps getting better and better this season. He’s batting .357 with a 1.062 OPS so far in June […]

Nothing encapsulates the brilliance and the cruel tension of Byron Buxton’s career more completely than the catch he made on June 5. Carter Jensen drove a ball toward the deepest part of straightaway center field at Target Field, the type of contact that ordinarily forces an outfielder to turn toward the wall and watch. Buxton […]
