2K24: Minnesota Twins

[madducks]

"Severe" quad strain. Shut down for at least 4 weeks, but this sounds like a "see ya at the AS Break" at best.

Yeah, but that 3.500 OPS.

[madducks]

Anthony DeSclafani underwent season-ending surgery on Friday to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm.

In less than than 2 weeks, DeSclafani's elbow soreness went from expected-to-be-ready for opening day to done for the year.

[madducks]

What about Buxton, is he still standing ?

Yes, but everyday is a close call with Buxton.

[madducks]

The Twins should sell T-shirts that say "Look out Byron!' lol.

In less than than 2 weeks, DeSclafani's elbow soreness went from expected-to-be-ready for opening day to done for the year.

But at least he did avoid the dreaded "we hope to see him pitch at some point this season" designation.

Matt Wallner is 1-for-15 with 12 Ks. I was hoping for a breakout campaign for him after last year's under the radar .249/.370/.507, but it looks like he might be a short-timer unless he rights the ship quickly,

Twins optioned INF Edouard Julien to Triple-A St. Paul.

The corresponding move is expected to be the activation of 3B Royce Lewis from the IL.

[madducks]

Royce Lewis keeps his 1.000 batting average going. He's now 3-3 on the year with 2 HR & 2 BB.

[madducks]

Royce Lewis goes back to the Injured List with a right adductor strain.

[revo]

Jose Miranda went 4-for-4, extending his Twins record for most consecutive plate appearances with a hit to 10. Over his last 9 games, he's a ridiculous 19-for-34.

Picking up the slack and then some for Royce.

[madducks]

Jose Miranda tied the all-time record with a hit in 12 consecutive at-bats. The streak would end with a fly out in the sixth.

[Sour Masher]

Brooks Lee looks ready. If he keeps hitting, I don't know what they do when Lewis comes back. I don't know how they keep Lee getting regular ABs at the point, but it is a good problem for them to have.

They only have to bench Lee for those one week intervals when Lewis is healthy.
