Twin Rookie Infielder Luke Keaschall Manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters (including Dan Hayes of Sports and Matthew Leach of MLB.com) that the manager is weighing surgery to resolve the left thumb injury. The decision will be made after Keaschall visits experts next week.
Keaschall jumped his thumb into second base in his win at Texas last night. He quit the competition and went to take an image this morning. The twins didn’t officially put him on the injured list, but there was no reason to make him miserable in the last few games against the Rangers and the Phillies. Ryan Fitzgerald The lineup was drawn on second base tonight.
The 23-year-old Keaschall is one of Minnesota’s most promising players. Keaschall won a second round pick in 2023, in every minor league docking click. The twins called him in mid-April. When his career Kyle Hendricks In his seventh game, the court broke its right arm. Keaschall was disengaged from action until early August, when the team had lost the dispute and sold most of the list.
Keaschall took it after returning from his forearm injury. He cut .294/.359/.436 in the last 181 sets. The right batsman is less than 15% of his trips, continuing his performance on minor league pitching plus contact abilities. Keaschall didn’t release a huge exit speed, but he showed an impressive understanding of any batsman, especially rookies.
This should be enough to master the second base work on Opening Day. Once he makes an official decision on whether to undergo surgery, the twins will presumably provide more details about their recovery schedule and offseason plans. Keaschall’s promotion was so late this season that he received a full service year. Minnesota has held him in control for six seasons after that.
