Taj Bradley and Jackson Jobe start for Twins and Tigers
Summary

The Minnesota Twins host the Detroit Tigers at Target Field for their 138th game of the season. Taj Bradley takes the mound for Minnesota, while Jackson Jobe starts on the hill for the visiting Tigers. The Twins face a difficult stretch following an 8-17 performance throughout August, leaving them on the periphery of the postseason race. Despite being four games out of a playoff position, team management is shifting focus toward evaluating prospects for the 2027 season. Young players including Walker Jenkins, Kaelen Culpepper, and Emmanuel Rodriguez are expected to receive increased playing time as the club assesses its roster depth. With Byron Buxton injured and multiple veteran pitchers approaching free agency, the organization looks to identify which prospects will secure permanent roles in the lineup and rotation moving forward.
