Twins Promote Kyler Fedko, Designate Orlando Arcia For Assignment

Fedko’s call-up adds a right-handed power-and-speed option who can play corner outfield or infield and creates roster space as Minnesota leans toward more athletic depth.

Overview

  • The Twins purchased Kyler Fedko’s contract from Triple-A St. Paul and added him to both the 26-man and 40-man rosters, with the team announcing the move over the weekend.
  • Orlando Arcia was designated for assignment to clear roster space after signing a minor-league deal in January and appearing in 19 games for Minnesota, where he hit .271 in 48 at-bats.
  • Fedko made his major league debut in the Twins’ lineup on Monday night in Arlington, starting in left field and facing the Texas Rangers.
  • The 26-year-old Fedko earned the call after a breakout minor-league stretch, hitting .286 with 15 homers, a .950 OPS and a 138 wRC+ in 58 Triple-A games following a 2025 season with 28 homers and 38 steals.
  • The promotion reflects manager Derek Shelton’s emphasis on athleticism and positional flexibility, and the club is also tracking rehab progress for pitchers Mick Abel and prospect Walker Jenkins as possible near-term roster factors.
