Buxton Heads to Season-Ending Hip Surgery as Twins Eye 2027 Return

Buxton will have arthroscopic surgery on his right hip, ending his 2026 season with a potential return for 2027; he's on the 10-day IL (and could be moved to 60-day IL) as the Twins sit 4.5 games out of a playoff spot. In 93 games this year he posted 25 homers and a .254/.319/.511 line, while the club weighs offseason moves—including Trevor Larnach trade chatter and other outfield options—as it plans for a healthier Buxton in 2027.

Iranian protest twin sisters face death sentence amid torture claims

Taraneh and Romina Rahimi, 19-year-old twin sisters, were abducted during January protests in Isfahan. Taraneh was sentenced to death and Romina to 25 years in prison after a trial that family and lawyers say relied on torture and produced no evidence of violence. They have not been allowed to see their daughters since sentencing; a cousin in Utah describes severe beatings, hair pulled out and solitary confinement, and alleges guards threatened rape to extract confessions. The case highlights Iran's crackdown on protesters, which has seen hundreds executed or sentenced this year, drawing international condemnation.

Twins call up Walker Jenkins to man center field against White Sox

The Minnesota Twins will promote top prospect Walker Jenkins to start in center field against the Chicago White Sox as Byron Buxton rests with a sore hip. Jenkins, the No. 5 overall pick in 2023, has slashed .308/.407/.532 with 12 homers in 307 Triple-A plate appearances this season and has heated up after returning from injuries, signaling he may be nearing a big-league impact.

Twins Elevate Top Prospect Walker Jenkins

The Minnesota Twins plan to call up top outfield prospect Walker Jenkins for Friday, needing to clear both active- and 40-man-roster spots. Jenkins is a widely regarded top-20 prospect with a minor-league line of about .303/.404/.490, strong plate discipline, and defensive versatility, but his progress has been tempered by a history of injuries (hip impingement, hamate, quad/hamstring, ankle sprain, AC joint). The promotion signals a significant step for the organization and a potential five‑tool contributor in the majors.

Jury awards $33M to twins after Redwood City street-racing crash

A San Mateo County jury awarded $33 million to 11-year-old twin girls whose parents were killed in Redwood City when their car was struck during a street race on Nov. 4, 2022. The 17-year-old driver, Cesar Morales, was speeding up to 110 mph while racing another car; Morales' parents were found negligent for failing to intervene. Morales received 90 days of home detention. The other driver, Kyle Harrison, pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter and racing Morales and was later found dead in his jail cell after serving less than a month of an eight-year sentence. The twins, adopted by their aunt, are pursuing payment of the award, but it is unclear how much the Morales family can pay.

Twins Promote Top Prospect Culpepper to MLB Debut

The Minnesota Twins promoted their top prospect Kaelen Culpepper from Triple-A St. Paul to the majors, tabbing the 2nd-ranked Twins prospect (No. 29 in MLB Pipeline) after a .271/.367/.478 season with 14 homers, 46 RBIs and 17 steals in 343 Triple-A plate appearances and a return from a glute injury. Ranked as a high-upside hitter with a power-speed blend, Culpepper is expected to be an everyday shortstop for the Twins soon and could deliver immediate fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Gray’s pregame hunch fuels Clemens’ walk-off slam, Twins top Royals

Tristan Gray’s pregame prediction proved true when Kody Clemens lined a hanging slider for a walk-off grand slam off Matt Strahm, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. It gave the Twins their second walk-off victory in three days and pulled them back to the .500 mark, despite a late-game rally from Kansas City and a rough six-inning stretch against Noah Cameron. The win occurred as Minnesota dealt with Byron Buxton’s right-hip injury and Joe Ryan’s continued struggles, with Cole Sands later announced to be out for the season after elbow surgery.

Twins Bet on Deadline Buy Window, Targeting Bullpen Boost

After a walk-off win kept them at .500 and within reach of a Wild Card spot, the Twins are positioned as buyers at the upcoming trade deadline, prioritizing bullpen upgrades and potential pitching help. GM Jeremy Zoll signaled they’ll pursue deals but aren’t selling their core—starting pitcher Joe Ryan is unlikely to go, while catcher Ryan Jeffers could fetch pitching if a deal makes sense—relying on a strong farm system and a around $101M payroll to bolster the bullpen and add depth as they chase a playoff berth.
