Twins Calling Up Prospect Luke Keaschall
The Minnesota Twins are expected to call up consensus top-100 prospect Luke Keaschall from Triple-A St. Paul this weekend to provide lineup help with injuries mounting early in the season, a team source told The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman. Third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) began the year on the injured list after getting hurt in spring training, and the Twins just placed outfielder Matt Wallner (hamstring) on the IL earlier this week. In addition, shortstop Carlos Correa (wrist) and utility man Willi Castro (oblique) were injured this week, leaving Minnesota's roster thin. Jose Miranda (hand) and Austin Martin (hamstring) are on the IL at St. Paul. Keaschall, a second-rounder in 2023, is the team's reigning minor-league player of the year and is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 3 prospect. He has only played second base in the minors this year, but he also has experience at first and center field. Keaschall has underrated power potential and above-average speed and could see regular playing time in the short term.
