The Minnesota Twins are trying to remain in postseason contention with 10 games left in their season. Outfield prospect Walker Jenkins, who was promoted in late August, has struggled significantly in the majors, recording just four hits in 45 at-bats thus far. After an impressive minor league showing with 12 home runs and a.939 OPS at Triple-A St. Paul, Jenkins will aim to improve as the season concludes. His performance could affect his future with the team, particularly into next season if struggles continue. The Twins may allow him to work through these issues without immediate pressure due to their poor standing.
