What happened
Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, and the 21-year-old outfielder was in Minnesota's lineup against the Chicago White Sox, batting ninth and playing center field. Minnesota drafted Jenkins fifth overall in the 2023 amateur draft as a high schooler from North Carolina. “I think it’ll hit me a little bit when I get out on that field,” Jenkins said before his debut.
