Overview
- Jenkins, who crashed into the outfield wall Sunday at Triple-A St. Paul, sustained a grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder and will be re-evaluated in 10 days.
- The 21-year-old, ranked No. 11 by MLB Pipeline, is in his first full Triple-A season and has a .256/.396/.389 line in 111 plate appearances.
- The Twins said there will be no update on ace Joe Ryan’s right elbow until Tuesday after he left his last start with soreness.
- Outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez is also sidelined with a muscle strain in his left thumb, further thinning the club’s near-term outfield options.
- With two top prospects out and Ryan’s status uncertain, Minnesota may need to turn to less-tested help, with left-hander Kendry Rojas mentioned as a possible option.
