Twins rookie update: Culpepper hurt, Jenkins in deep slump, E-Rod raking
Two of the Twins' top three prospects have hit the ground running in MLB. One very much has not.
The Minnesota Twins' 2024 first-round pick, Kaelen Culpepper, has had a promising start to his big-league career despite being sent to the injured list due to a mild hamstring strain that could end his season. Culpepper made his MLB debut on August 7 in Milwaukee, launching a home run in the second at-bat and going at least once in 19 of his first 24 games.
He batted .307 with an .827 OPS during that period. However, since then, his performance has dropped, with Culpepper going 3 for 21, reducing his average to .275 and OPS to .737.
