Walker Jenkins Officially Placed On Seven-Day Injured List
6 days agoMinnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (ankle) was officially placed on Double-A Wichita's 7-day minor league IL on Wednesday. The Twins' top prospect was dealing with an ankle issue in the spring, and it resurfaced after two games into the season, not having played in a game now since April 6. It seems the plan is just to let him rest, so that when he's recovered, they'll hopefully have him for the rest of the season. It was expected that baseball's No. 3 ranked prospect would make his major league debut at some point this season, and while that still may be the case, the timeline has likely shifted to a bit later in the year at this point as the former first-round draft pick does not even have a single Triple-A at-bat to his name yet. He's still a hold in dynasty leagues, but not a must-stash yet in redraft.
