  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Keaschall was reassigned to Minnesota's minor-league camp Sunday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. Keaschall was limited to only batting during most of spring training due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery last August. He made a strong impression against major-league spring competition by hitting a home run with a .813 OPS. He'll likely begin the season at Double-A but could be in the majors this summer.

• Twins' Luke Keaschall: Logs hit in first spring game

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Keaschall went 1-for-2 in Minnesota's spring training opener Saturday. He appeared as a pinch hitter and stayed in the game at DH as he isn't able to play in the field due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery last August. Keaschall has been taking grounders at second base but not throwing once he gets the ball. He could be cleared to begin throwing by the middle of March, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. Keaschall almost surely isn't going to make the Opening Day roster, but he should debut during the 2025 season after slashing .303/.420/.483 with 15 home runs and 23 stolen bases between High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita in 2024.

  08/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Keaschall will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Keaschall has battled elbow problems for much of the season, although it hasn't affected his production as the 21-year-old is slashing .303/.420/.483 with 15 homers and 23 stolen bases between High-A Cedar Rapids and Double-A Wichita. Because he's a position player, having the surgery now will give Keaschall a shot to be recovered in time for spring training. Assuming he's healthy, Keaschall could debut for the Twins in 2025.
