Walker Jenkins Reaches Base Twice in Return, is He a Must-Stash Now?
Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list on Tuesday and promptly reached base twice with a triple and a walk for Triple-A St. Paul. The Twins' top-ranked prospect had a slow start to the season but was heating up before the injury, going 18-for-61 (.295) with five doubles, two home runs, and four steals in 16 games before hitting the IL. His slash line for the year sits at .258/.400/.409 with an impressive 20:20 BB:K through a total of 26 games for the Saints, and he had a strong four-game rehab in which he went 9-for-16 (.563) with a pair of home runs before getting activated on Tuesday. With some momentum, the former fifth-overall draft pick should earn a call-up in the early part of the second half of the season, and with a solid all-around offensive profile that includes plus contact, power, and speed, the 21-year-old is a worthy stash option in deeper leagues with an NA slot to tuck him away in.
