Twins to Promote No. 1 Prospect Walker Jenkins
Walker Jenkins is hitting .308 with 12 home runs at Triple-A St. Paul and keeps rookie eligibility for 2027.
- On Friday, the Minnesota Twins will promote top prospect Walker Jenkins for his MLB debut against the Chicago White Sox at Target Field.
- The promotion follows star center fielder Byron Buxton reaggravating his right hip injury during Tuesday's game against the Athletics, marking his third injured list placement this season.
- Jenkins, a 21-year-old outfielder, earned the call-up after posting 12 home runs and a.940 OPS over 69 games at Triple-A St. Paul this season.
- With the Twins trailing in the American League Wild Card race, Jenkins joins fellow prospect Kaelen Culpepper in a late-season youth movement aimed at reviving playoff hopes.
- By accruing 31 days of service time, Jenkins retains rookie eligibility for the 2027 season, positioning the Twins to potentially qualify for the Prospect Promotion Incentive in future drafts.
