Scouting Report: Walker Jenkins
Minnesota Twins | CF
Overall
Summary
Walker Jenkins, the Minnesota Twins' top prospect (No. 11 ranked in MLB), suffered a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder on May 3rd while making a running catch and colliding with the right-center field wall at Triple-A St. Paul. This marks the second injury setback of the season, following an earlier hamstring injury. The Twins announced a 10-day re-evaluation period, though typical recovery for Grade 2 AC sprains ranges 3-6 weeks. Jenkins was performing well offensively prior to the injury, hitting .256/.396/.389 across 111 plate appearances with strong recent production (8-for-18 with 4 doubles, 1 HR, 4 RBIs, 6 runs, 4 walks in a recent series against Iowa). The injury timing is particularly unfortunate as Jenkins was gaining momentum at the plate.
