, the Twins also gave word Friday afternoon that star prospect Luke Keaschall will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Baseball America, just before the Fourth of July, raised his profile to the No. 48 prospect in all of Major League Baseball.
According to multiple insiders, the Twins have known for a while that Keaschall would eventually need the surgery and they're shutting him down soon in order to give him enough time to recover and have a full spring training in 2025."Keaschall doesn’t give pitchers a lot of ways to get him out," the publication added. "He can catch up to a fastball, but he also recognizes spin and destroys a changeup if the pitcher tips it at all.
Keaschall slashed .335/.457/.544 with seven homers, 12 doubles and 21 RBIs in 44 games and 197 plate appearances with the Cedar Rapids Kernals. He also had 14 stolen bases and walked more times than he struck out .
