In a rain-soaked Fenway Park game, the Red Sox fell 6-5 to the Minnesota Twins after interim manager Chad Tracy rolled the dice in the sixth by sending 35-year-old Tyron Guerrero to protect a one-run lead; Guerrero, making his second major-league appearance of the decade, retired two of four batters as Boston’s ongoing bullpen experimentation continues and the club sits near the bottom of the AL East.
The Minnesota Twins shift Simeon Woods Richardson to the bullpen for at least one turn and hand the ball to Kendry Rojas in a bullpen-style start against the Astros, hoping to spark a struggling rotation. Woods Richardson has a 7.71 ERA across nine starts and has been homer-prone with a low strikeout rate. Rojas, a 23-year-old top-10 prospect with a 96–97 mph fastball and a mid-80s slider/change, will audition for a longer-term rotation spot. Meanwhile, Royce Lewis has been hampered by injuries and a drop in production, prompting discussion of a possible demotion with Arcia or Culpepper as potential replacements if his form doesn’t improve.
Cal Raleigh’s right-side soreness sidelined the Mariners for two games with MRI results pending, and Will Wilson was placed on the 10-day IL with a thumb fracture, prompting Jhonny Pereda’s recall and Ryan Bliss to join the taxi squad; Ranger Suarez exited a Red Sox game with a hamstring strain and will rest with MRI not planned, with Boston weighing an opener ahead of Brayan Bello; Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins left a Triple-A game with a left shoulder injury and will be evaluated; White Sox pitcher Shane Smith will miss at least two weeks with a right rotator cuff strain.
Two UK twins, Lavinia and Michelle, discover they share a womb but have different fathers due to heteropaternal superfecundation after taking Ancestry DNA tests—a rare finding that reshapes their identities, leads Lavinia to meet her biological dad Arthur Moon Foot, and brings Michelle into a wider network of half-siblings. The piece follows their difficult upbringing, the emotional fallout of the revelations, and how casual home DNA testing is increasingly exposing hidden family histories.
Two British twins, Michelle and Lavinia Osbourne, learned via Ancestry DNA testing that they have different biological fathers—a phenomenon called heteropaternal superfecundation that is extremely rare, with only about 20 cases documented worldwide and none previously in British history; the sisters say the discovery doesn’t alter their close bond as they continue to live in England.
The Mets ended a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field, with Juan Soto back in the lineup and going 1-for-3 with a walk; Mark Vientos delivered the go-ahead RBI and Luke Weaver provided crucial relief as Francisco Lindor left the game with left calf tightness.
The Mets ended a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field, a rare bright spot for manager Carlos Mendoza, but Francisco Lindor left with a calf injury that cast a shadow over the win.
The New York Mets’ 2026 season hit a new low as the Minnesota Twins handed them a 12th straight loss, the franchise’s longest skid since 2002. A bright note early—Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer and Nolan McLean’s near-perfect start—gave way to a seventh-inning tie and a ninth-inning collapse by Devin Williams. Minnesota’s social-media jab—“Things you can get in a dozen: Eggs, Roses, Mets losses”—caps a stinging roast as the Mets, who entered the year with high expectations, remain stuck in a historically deep slide with no postseason berth in sight under the World Series era rules.
The Mets' 12-game skid continued with a 5-3 loss to the Twins at Citi Field, sparking a wild brawl in the 100s that led to an NYPD arrest as closer Devin Williams struggled in the ninth.
Reliever Austin Warren picked up the final out in the ninth after Devin Williams blew the lead, but Mets fans at Citi Field responded with sarcastic ‘MVP’ chants during a 5-3 loss to the Twins, as New York extended its 12-game skid—the franchise’s longest since 2002—before exiting to boos ahead of a Rockies series.
Garrett Crochet allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in 1 2/3 innings, his worst outing, as the Twins routed the Red Sox 13-6; his velocity was down and he did not record a strikeout.
In an 8-6 loss to the Orioles, Minnesota Twins manager Derek Shelton became MLB’s first skipper ejected for arguing a robot-umpire decision during an Automated Ball-Strike challenge, after disputing the three-second review window that produced a strikeout and ended the Twins’ late rally, signaling baseball’s shift toward AI-assisted officiating.
With Pablo López out for the season, the Twins named Joe Ryan Opening Day starter and optioned Zebby Matthews to Triple-A, solidifying a rotation that already includes Bailey Ober and Simeon Woods Richardson. Taj Bradley and Mick Abel won the final two spots, while David Festa starts the year on the injured list. Bradley and Abel have shown spring promise, giving Minnesota a mix of proven options and young arms as they head into the regular season.
Jennifer Lopez marked Emme and Max’s 18th birthday with an Instagram video tribute that stitches together throwback clips from their infancy, heartfelt captions about their kindness and love, and moments from the siblings together with their mom, including backstage kisses and a later Instagram Story of them playing guitar; the post revisits their 2008 arrival via ex-husband Marc Anthony and celebrates them stepping into adulthood as her “wonder twins.”
An MRI on Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan showed only lower back inflammation after he was scratched from a Spring Training start, a best-case outcome that could allow a quick return and keep Opening Day available. With Pablo López out for the year, Ryan’s health is crucial to Minnesota’s rotation, and while his World Baseball Classic participation could be affected, the Twins remain hopeful he can contribute early in the season.
