Terrific story. A must-read before Naz Reid and the Wolves begin their postseason.

David Festa turning in his best performance of the season with St. Paul Saints this year.

Got 14 whiffs, 9 coming with his slider. Was far more efficient today, only 3 batters had 6+ pitch at-bats #MNTwins

NBA announces it has banned Raptors wing Jontay Porter for 'disclosing confidential information to sports betters, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games':

From Phil Miller’s game story: The Twins have been outscored in the first three innings this season 35-13.

First pitch at Target Field on Saturday: 1:10 p.m.

Tipoff next door at Target Center: 2:30 p.m.

m.startribune.com/twins-send-mat… Twins roster move: Matt Wallner, who has 17 strikeouts in 25 at-bats, was optioned to AAA. Trevor Larnach was called up.

Makes a lot of sense for all the MLB and AAA injuries the Twins have in their infield.

The Padres have signed veteran infielder Donovan Solano to a minor-league deal.
He will report to Arizona.
Solano, 36, has played 820 games for five different teams.

Excellent outing for Twins prospect Charlee Soto. At 18, he’s the youngest pitcher in the Florida State League, per Baseball America.

startribune.com/minnesota-twin… On the same day the Twins put another one of their best players on the IL, they responded with their first doubleheader sweep since Sept. 4, 2020.

Phil Miller with the details in Detroit:

The Twins’ injured list includes Correa, Royce Lewis, Max Kepler, Jhoan Duran, Caleb Thielbar, Justin Topa and Anthony DeSclafani.

Twins closer Jhoan Duran traveled with the team to Detroit, a good sign considering manager Rocco Baldelli said they were eyeing a May return when Duran was first injured. Phil Miller has more: startribune.com/jhoan-duran-mi…

m.startribune.com/tigers-beat-tw… From Phil Miller: The latest challenge for the Twins will include playing without Carlos Correa.

“It doesn't feel good right now. It feels kind of like crap at the moment, but what are we going to do about it? We're going to show up and work hard.”

One note about tonight’s Twins-Tigers game: It’s not raining anymore, but it’s extremely windy, steady around 25 mph, gusts close to 50. Current temp is 48, but wind chill will be in the 30s.

Niko Goodrum, who was in spring training with the Twins, joined the Rays’ active roster.

Not sure if Minnesota Twins has officially announced this yet, but Simeon Woods Richardson will get the call up from the St. Paul Twins, presumably as the 27th man for tomorrow’s double header vs. the Detroit Tigers.

How do I know? He’s on my Delta flight home to Detroit right now.

Caleb Thielbar completed his second Class AAA rehab outing tonight. Across two innings, he gave up a solo homer and struck out four.

The Twins wanted him to make at least two rehab outings. His next appearance could be in the Twins bullpen this weekend.

#MNTwins OF Trevor Larnach has been added to the Fort Myers Fort Myers Mighty Mussels roster and will begin a rehab assignment at 6:30 ET tonight in Clearwater.

Larnach was placed on the AAA injured list on March 29 with turf toe.

Today's #MNTwins vs. Tigers game in Detroit has been postponed by weather. The game will be made up as part of a traditional doubleheader starting at noon Saturday. startribune.com/twins-tigers-g…

Carlos Correa’s relay throw, which he practices regularly, saved the Twins in their one-run win over the Dodgers.
