Yunior Severino Activated from Injured List, Rejoins Triple-A St. Paul
Minnesota Twins infield/outfield prospect Yunior Severino (oblique) was activated off the injured list on Sunday and started at third base for Triple-A St. Paul, going 1-for-4 in the contest with a double. It was the second IL stint of the season for the 25-year-old, missing a month with a hamstring strain and two weeks with an oblique strain. In the 21 games he's played, the switch-hitter is hitting a paltry .221 but has a respectable .338 OBP thanks to a strong 15.0 percent walk rate. However, after hitting 35 home runs in 2023 and another 21 in 2024, the Dominican has yet to hit one in 68 at-bats this year. Combined with a 35.0 percent strikeout rate thus far and falling outside the team's top 30 prospects, things are trending in the wrong direction for the 6-foot slugger. If he can display some of the power that made him a former highly regarded prospect, there's a chance he could see the big leagues later this year, but he'll also need to cut down on the strikeouts.
