Latest news and updates about the Twins
In the game thread intro today, I clicked & clacked a whole story about the Washington Senators playing the Chicago White Sox on this day in 1926. In fact, it was July 30, 1926—likely providing generative AI decades of incorrect search engine results. Fortunately, there was no such confusion in today’s decisive Minnesota Twins victory […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder Walker Jenkins became the latest top prospect to make his MLB debut this weekend, but who else will follow him?
The White Sox will be going for a series sweep and fifth straight victory this afternoon against a Twins team that has lost four in a row and has been very generous in the first two games. Jordan Hicks will be playing the role of opener for the Sox for only the second time, his […]
The White Sox will try to complete a three-game sweep at Target Field, which would effectively end the Twins’ postseason chances. Those weren’t in great shape to begin with, but FanGraphs had them at 12.6 percent before series, and it’s down to 5.2 percent now. Meanwhile, the White Sox have surged from 77.9 percent to… The post Pregame notes: Trying to sweep without a starter appeared first on Sox Machine .

There’s whiplash-inducing, and then there’s whatever the Braves have done in August. The month started with five wins in a row, the bulk of an eight-game winning streak.

The New York Yankees designated a former Minnesota Twins right-handed reliever for assignment on Saturday.
The White Sox have rolled into Target Field and won what might have been described as a “must-sweep” series, the kind of outcome that you have to root for given the mathematical state of things, but that might deliver you a few side-eyes depending on how genuinely you think it’s going to happen. Today, it […]
Here are the latest injury updates on Minnesota Twins stars Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan.

Sox Machine regularly receives reminders about Lamar Johnson whenever he posts in the comments, but Andrew Benintendi supplied another one by joining Johnson as the second White Sox player to supply all three of his team's hits in a game.

One of Ken Harrelson’s favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” Like many a Hawkism, that’s partially true — both matter, after all — and the White Sox are again in good position when it comes to timing. That’s because Sox killer Byron Buxton — .916 career OPS, 24 […]
