Walker Jenkins Suffers Shoulder Injury at Triple-A
Minnesota Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) suffered an apparent left-shoulder injury after crashing into the center-field wall at Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, according to MLB Pipeline. The No. 11 overall prospect in all of baseball was removed in the sixth inning. The 21-year-old outfielder is the Twins' top prospect. It's unclear right now how serious Jenkins' shoulder injury is, but we should have more clarity on the situation soon. The former fifth overall pick in 2023 is still worth stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues. In 25 games so far in 2026 down on the farm at Triple-A, Jenkins has hit .256/.396/.389 with a .785 OPS, two home runs, nine RBI, five stolen bases, and 15 runs scored across 111 plate appearances. He possesses a smooth a repeatable left-handed swing and is a plus hitter with plenty of power upside. Jenkins could easily stick in center field at the major-league level with above-average speed. Depending on how serious his shoulder injury is, Jenkins is a realistic candidate to make his big-league debut for the Twins in 2026.
