Latest news and updates about the Twins
As the Braves are in the midst of a bit of a lull in performance, particularly on offense, they will hope to get more of the same from Tyler Mahle, who has been fantastic through two starts in a Braves uniform. The Twins will throw the big righty Zebby Matthews, who has struggled mightily this […]
Why not use the opportunity to call up top prospect Walker Jenkins? Or at least go with one of several right-handed Triple-A bats to fill Martin's platoon role?
We had noted last week that we’d likely see AJ Smith-Shawver rejoin the team during this week’s four-city road trip, and this has come to pass: not only have the Braves have recalled the 23-year old right-hander, he’s slated to start tomorrow’s Twins series finale. Chris Sale will shift to start the makeup game versus […]
These two Minnesota Twins players will likely be playing for different organizations in 2027.
After playing some fantastic baseball, the Braves have hit a bit of a skid, dropping three of four and watching their lead in the NL East slip to 6.5 games. The pitching put the club in a 4-0 hole early on Monday, as the Twins kept finding holes in the defense with relatively soft contact […]
We at Awful Announcing watched every second of the 2026 MLB Field of Dreams Game on Netflix last week, resulting in this review of the broadcast. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins, 7-1, so the game wasn’t very compelling, but Netflix still produced an enjoyable, high-quality viewing experience. Unfortunately, Netflix and Major League Baseball…
The end of July (or beginning of August) marks a special time in the baseball calendar. The Trade Deadline inspires […]
While they looked as if they could come back, the Braves could not overcome a first inning deficit in a 4-2 loss to the Twins on Monday. After the first inning, the Braves pitching staff was able to lock in to give the Braves a chance. But an offense that is now 27th in baseball […]
The Minnesota Twins could look into Michael Lorenzen after he was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies.
I’d say “stop me if you heard this one before,” but you can’t stop me, because I have a recap to write. The Braves fell behind early, and didn’t hit any homers, losing a close-ish game on the margins to the Twins. When you don’t hit homers, you need BABIP, and when you don’t get […]
After a sweep against the Minnesota Twins where they scored a combined 23 runs over three games, they pull out a solid win as the Marlins try to cling to the wildcard race. It was all of the makings of a good team win. It started on the first ball in play of the night, […]
This is a very generically solid lineup for Martin Perez to deal with. No one below .310 xwOBA-wise until the seventh spot.

Minnesota placed Martin on the IL with a left hamstring strain. The corresponding roster move is underwhelming, to say the least.
The Minnesota Twins placed Austin Martin on the injured list with a hamstring injury and have selected the contract of Alex Jackson.
Did the Phillies turn their season around with the sweep over the Twins? Or was that series just a brief upturn before they resume their frustrating play? We might find out this week, as the Phillies will host an opponent that’s been more all over the place than they have. You probably recall that the […]
11:55am: Jackson is headed right back to the major league club. The Twins announced Monday that outfielder Austin Martin has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a hamstring strain. Jackson steps right back into the 40-man spot that was vacated by his own DFA. Martin, 27, will miss at least a week-plus. The […]
Prior to the Field of Dreams game, the Twins took care of business against the Orioles, with Dean Kremer providing a “Revenge Game TM” performance against his old team. Unfortunately, the good vibes stopped as soon as the Twins walked through the cornfields, as they finished out the week getting swept by the Phillies, including […]
Luke Keaschall's defensive crisis should force the Twins to call up their top prospect.
Coming out of the corn and playing the Twins may have been a salve the Phillies needed after looking like they would rather have been anywhere else that St. Louis this past week. Three up Alec Bohm – Vegetables are a good thing to eat. As a father of younger children, I know the pain […]
