Twins: Walker Jenkins scheduled for elbow surgery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll said Tuesday he expects all but one of the team’s injured players to be ready for spring train training, including veteran regulars Byron Buxton and Pablo Lopez. It also includes rookie outfielder Walker Jenkins, who was scheduled to have arthroscopic elbow surgery Wednesday morning. “He’s been dealing with a cranky right elbow on and off for three or four years at this point,” Zoll said. “He’s gonna get a procedure tomorrow to clean up bone chips and bone spur
Shipley: Vikings come back to earth, where most NFL games are won and lost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a couple of magical games to start the season, the Vikings came back down to earth on Sunday in Tampa, Fla. — which is perfectly fine because this is where NFL games are won and lost, and the Vikings are 3-0. After storming back to beat Green Bay with a frenetic fourth-quarter rally in Week 1, and silencing Caleb Williams and the Bears with a defensive performance nothing short of spectacular in a Week 2 victory in Chicago, the Vikings were reminded that most NFL victories aren’t magic. Mi
Wild PK fell off a cliff in the playoffs. They have a plan for that (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The penalty kill has been the Minnesota Wild’s bete noir for the past several years, among the NHL’s 10 worst units since before the 2020-21 COVID season. It was better last season — a perfectly average 16th in the 32-team league — but fell off a cliff again during the playoffs. While Minnesota won a first-round series for the first time in 10 years, its penalty kill was pilloried by Dallas and Colorado in the playoffs, a combined 15 for 38 — 15th among the 16 teams that advanced to the postseas
Twins promote another first-round pick, Aaron Sabato (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Twins on Monday promoted another of their first-round draft picks, selecting the contract of first baseman Aaron Sabato a day after he finished a big season with Triple-A St. Paul. The 27th overall pick in the 2020 draft, Sabato, 27, hit .273 with 25 home runs, 75 runs batted in and 66 runs scored in 113 games for the Saints. His 29 doubles set the team’s single-season record since it became the Twins’ top minor league team in 2021. Sabato was called up prior to Monday’s 8:45 p.m. first pitc
Shipley: Kyler Murray? J.J. McCarthy? For the Vikings, the answer was Carson Wentz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The moment Kyler Murray signed a one-year contract on March 12, the question surrounding the Vikings was which quarterback would be leading the team in its season opener. Murray, or J.J. McCarthy? Little did anyone suspect the answer would be Carson Wentz. “I didn’t think I’d be going home sore today,” he said after relieving Murray early and directing a wild, woolly comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers, 39-22, in the season opener for both teams Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Murray won th
