Twin Rookie Outfielder Alan Roden Minnesota was excluded from the season when it placed him on the 60-day injury list over the weekend. The 25-year-old sprained the ligament on his left thumb, which he exacerbated on the overhead slide last week. Roden told Bobby Nightengale Minnesota Star Tribune that he tended to undergo surgery after meeting with a hand specialist on Monday. The program comes with a two-month recovery schedule, so it shouldn’t have much impact on his offseason.
However, it was a frustrating situation for Roden, who could have played regularly in the game. Minnesota got him and attracted players Kendry Rojas In the surprising deadline agreement, the agreement sends controllable relief workers Louis Varland Go to Toronto. Roden and Jays are in triple form with Jays. The twins immediately recalled him. Roden played 12 of the team’s 13 games before being injured.
Left-handed Roden struggled with a limited look, hitting a .158, the only home run while hitting 13 times in 40 plate appearances. Roden didn’t hit much during an early MLB in Jays. He ended his first match with a slash of 0.191/.261/.294 in 55 games. That’s not enough to secure his starting point in the outfield next year. Roden destroyed the triple pitch, but hit the ball.331/.423/.496, walking more than strikeouts in 32 games. The former third-round pick hits every minor league stop and has a career .302/.409/.457 slash below the MLB level.
After a few years after this, Roden still had two minor league choices. Twins can keep him triple for the foreseeable future. He should be healthy into spring training and can compete for the opening roster. Minnesota has nine outfielders who will be on the 40-man squad at the start of the offseason.
Byron Buxton Is the only person who locks in the starting role. Matt Warner There should be a lot of playing time, but you can see more time on the designated hitter than playing in the right field every day. Former first round player Trevor Larnach Stand out as a candidate for speculative change. Roden can Emmanuel Rodriguez and Dashawn Keirsey Jr. Role. It seems that the twins may add at least one veteran (ideally a right-handed bat) to raise the floor with many unproven players.
