No Setbacks For Alex Kirilloff
2 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist) has had no setbacks heading into spring training, according to president of baseball operations Derek Falvey. "AK has been in a great spot. Our strength guys said [the wrist is] probably in as good of a spot as they've seen him coming into camp, where he's at. The early returns on swinging are very positive," Falvey said. The oft-injured 25-year-old had surgery last August to shorten the ulnar bone in his right wrist and to clean up scar tissue, but he should be fully ready for the start of the 2023 season. The former first-rounder has shown flashes early in his career, but injuries have held him back, and he hasn't exactly shown the type of power in the big leagues that he was known for as a minor-league prospect. There's still a chance he could become an impact hitter for the Twins, but he'll need to stay healthy and produce in order to see consistent playing time.
