Twins Call Up Top Prospect Jenkins | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins are making a bold move by calling up top prospect Walker Jenkins for his MLB debut against the Chicago White Sox—just as they may be losing star Byron Buxton to injury. At just 21, Jenkins, a fifth overall pick in 2023, is hitting well in Triple-A with 12 homers and is ranked 15th in baseball’s prospects. His call-up gives him minimal service time, keeping him eligible for Rookie of the Year and potentially earning the Twins a future first-round draft pick. With another top prospect, Kaelen Culpepper, also set to debut, the Twins are embracing a youth-driven push to stay alive in the Wild Card race—and betting big on the long-term payoff.
