Kreidler’s Rise Shakes Twins’ Shortstop Plans | Minnesota Twins News

Kaelen Culpepper’s MLB debut looks shaky after his hip injury sidelined him, but his Triple-A stats are insane—14 homers, 43 RBIs, 15 steals in 61 games. Meanwhile, utility man Ryan Kreidler has exploded since stepping in, slashing .412/.444/.676 in his last 36 PA, outperforming both Culpepper’s timeline and Tristan Gray—who’s been struggling at the plate and in the field. Kreidler’s versatility (shortstop, outfield) makes him a nightmare to bench, even if he’s not a lock for the future. The Twins now face a delicious dilemma: keep Kreidler in the lineup while waiting for Culpepper—or find creative ways to fit both. Either way, it’s a win for the team’s depth and a headache for the front office.
