Twins Promote Outfield Prospect Kyler Fedko, Will he Carve Out a Starting Role?
The Minnesota Twins selected the contract of outfield prospect Kyler Fedko from the minors on Sunday and designated infielder Orlando Arcia for assignment in a corresponding move, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Fedko is in the big leagues for the first time after slashing .286/.372/.578 with a .950 OPS, 15 home runs, 11 doubles, two triples, 45 RBI, nine stolen bases, and 44 runs scored in 58 games and 239 plate appearances with Triple-A St. Paul. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter was originally a 12th-round selection in 2021 out of the University of Connecticut. After not doing much in the first couple of years of his pro career in the minors, Fedko broke out in 2025 in 130 games with St. Paul and Double-A Wichita, clubbing 28 home runs, driving in 82, and stealing 38 bases in 566 total plate appearances. Fedko can play all three outfield positions, but it remains to be seen how much he'll play in Minnesota. At the very least, though, he'll be in play for the short side of a platoon somewhere in the outfield against left-handed pitchers.
