• Twins' Walker Jenkins: Dealing with sprained ankle

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Jenkins is roughly 1-to-2 weeks behind after suffering a mild ankle sprain last week, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Jenkins was sidelined for roughly two months last season due to a hamstring injury, though his sprained ankle doesn't seem to be nearly as serious. He may have to miss a few games during spring training, though the Twins don't believe his availability for the start of the minor-league season will be affected.

  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Twins promoted Jenkins from Single-A Fort Myers to High-A Cedar Rapids on Monday. Jenkins' 2024 debut lasted one plate appearance before a strained left hamstring cost him two months, but since returning to action for Fort Myers in early June, he's been outstanding. The 19-year-old delivered elite walk (18.7 percent) and strikeout (11.2 percent) rates and slashed .279/.408/.426 over 152 plate appearances at Single-A to earn the promotion.

• Twins' Walker Jenkins: Returns from hamstring injury

  06/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jenkins (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day IL and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's win for Single-A Fort Myers. He batted second and played center field. Jenkins made just one plate appearance for Single-A Fort Myers before straining his left hamstring and landing on the 7-day injured list on April 9. He hit .393 (11-for-28) with a 1.085 OPS during nine rehab games for the Twins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. As one the top prospects in baseball heading into the season, Jenkins was thought to be in store for a brief pit stop at Fort Myers to begin the season before heading to High-A Cedar Rapids, but the injury could slow his ascent through the Twins' farm system.

• Twins' Walker Jenkins: Lands on IL with strained hamstring

  04/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jenkins was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday with Single-A Fort Myers due to a strained left hamstring. He exited Friday's game with the injury, which also happened to be Opening Day for the Mighty Mussels, so Jenkins has just one plate appearance (and one strikeout) to his name this season. The expectation is that once Jenkins is healthy, he will quickly force a promotion to High-A, as he had a 1.054 OPS in 12 games at Single-A last year and is one of the best prospects in baseball.
