Twins Call Up No. 15 Overall Prospect Walker Jenkins
Minnesota has officially called up top prospect Walker Jenkins, ranked No. 15 overall, to the MLB roster, per the club.
The Minnesota Twins have called up outfield prospect Walker Jenkins, ranked No. 15 overall, to the major league roster, the club announced.
Jenkins arrives as one of the more closely watched prospects in the organization, and his promotion completes a move that had been building for several days. Beat reporter Dan Hayes had reported the callup was coming, and the Twins' official channels subsequently announced Jenkins would make his debut — a sequence that left very little suspense by the time the roster move was formalized.
What the move required
The promotion required openings on both the active roster and the 40-man roster, per earlier reporting. The specifics of those corresponding moves have not been detailed in the available material.
What remains unconfirmed
Matthew Leach's report for MLB.com does not specify a lineup slot, a defensive position assignment, or any timetable for Jenkins's role going forward. What he does in his first major league at-bats is, refreshingly, still an open question.
