Jenkins Calls Up to Spark Twins | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins are calling up top prospect Walker Jenkins, the 15th-best player in baseball and fifth overall draft pick, to fill the outfield void left by injured Byron Buxton. Jenkins has been crushing it in Triple-A with a .300 average and 14 homers, including six in his last ten games. With the Twins six and a half games behind the White Sox and four out of a wild card spot, this is exactly the spark they need. He’ll debut Friday night at Target Field against the White Sox, facing Dean Kremer — and fans are buzzing to see if he can deliver on the big stage.
