Injury Report sources for Luke Keaschall of the Minnesota Twins
Luke Keaschall, the Minnesota Twins' 23-year-old rookie second baseman, suffered a left thumb injury on September 24, 2025, while attempting to steal second base against the Texas Rangers. The injury required surgical intervention on October 1 to repair a torn UCL. Despite the season-ending setback, Keaschall is expected to make a full recovery by spring training.
During his truncated 2025 rookie season, Keaschall appeared in 49 games and posted a .302 batting average with 4 home runs and 28 RBIs. Though his over-the-fence power was modest, he demonstrated intriguing contact skills, gap power, and speed. These qualities earned him the Minnesota Twins' Rookie of the Year award.
By February 2026, Keaschall had progressed through his rehabilitation and was cleared to participate in Grapefruit League games, starting at second base and batting second in an exhibition contest against the Boston Red Sox. The organization projects him as Minnesota's starting second baseman for the 2026 season, with some reports indicating the Twins may also provide him outfield experience to develop his versatility.
