Jenkins Debut Could Turn Twins Season | Minnesota Twins News

Walker Jenkins is finally here — Minnesota’s top prospect makes his MLB debut tonight at Target Field against the White Sox, poised to spark a struggling Twins offense. After a blistering August (.411, OPS over 1.200 in 18 games), Jenkins’ talent and work ethic have earned high praise, even from his former coach who says he should’ve been called up sooner. With key players like Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton sidelined, the Twins need Jenkins and other young guns like Kaelen Culpepper to step up big if they’re to make a playoff push. The roster shuffle — sending Alan Roden back to Triple-A and DFAing Woo-Suk Go — signals a bold new era for the Twins, with Jenkins as the centerpiece of their future. Can he handle the pressure and deliver? All eyes are on him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
