Buxton Struggles as Twins Eye Jenkins | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins are in a slump after getting swept by the Padres and facing a brutal Braves series, now staring down a must-win series against last-place Oakland. With Byron Buxton struggling mightily—batting just .129 with a dismal OPS of .432—the offense is in dire need of a spark. Enter prospect Walker Jenkins, who’s tearing it up in Triple-A with a .321 average and 13 homers, including seven this month. If Buxton can’t ignite his bat in this crucial three-game set, the Twins may have to call up Jenkins to keep their playoff hopes alive.
