Walker Jenkins Expected to be Healthy Ahead of Triple-A Regular Season
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (hamstring) is expected to be ready for the beginning of the Triple-A regular season, according to Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune. The team's top prospect is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain but is not expected to be limited in any capacity ahead of the start of the regular season. Jenkins was in the mix to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul to continue his development earlier in March. However, a hot start should push me into serious promotion conversations. Last season, Jenkins played 23 games at Triple-A and hit for a .242/.324/.396 line with two home runs and four stolen bases. Managers in deeper five-outfielder leagues should pay close attention to his early-season production as he could emerge as a high-end stash candidate.
