Twins Set to Promote Top Prospect Walker Jenkins

The Minnesota Twins are planning to promote Walker Jenkins, a top prospect, for their game on Friday. The team will need to adjust both their active and 40-man rosters to finalize this move, with official transactions expected to occur tomorrow due to the team's day off.

Jenkins is recognized as a consensus top 20 prospect in baseball, with rankings placing him as high as fourth overall by FanGraphs. Selected fifth overall in the 2023 draft from South Brunswick High School in North Carolina, he has demonstrated a strong batting average of .303 and an impressive on-base percentage of .404 across various minor league levels.

Despite his potential as a five-tool player, Jenkins has faced significant injury setbacks, including surgeries and strains that have limited his playing time. His performance has been affected by these injuries, but he has received positive feedback for his plate discipline and defensive skills in the outfield.
