Walker Jenkins Worth Stashing as he Makes Return From Injury?
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins has battled injuries this season, but has still managed to put up nice numbers at Triple-A St. Paul with a .258/.400/.409 line, two homers, and five stolen bases in 93 at-bats. The No. 5 overall pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2023, the 21-year-old is a fantasy-worthy name that requires attention as he continues to make his way back from an AC joint sprain that he suffered in May. At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Jenkins is a five-tool prospect who has looked the part as he has progressed through the Minnesota system. The unfortunate injury this season, as well as the emergence of names like Austin Martin and Trevor Larnach alongside Byron Buxton in the Minnesota outfield, has made it difficult for Jenkins to make his way to the big leagues. That doesn't make him any less stash-worthy, however, and it looks like the time is approaching for him to make a big league debut and a big fantasy impact. Managers in deeper five-outfielder leagues with open bench spots should consider stashing this five-category producer ahead of his eventual debut in the second half.
