Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Walker Jenkins, the Minnesota Twins' No. 11 overall prospect, suffered a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder on May 3, 2026, while making a running catch and colliding with the outfield wall at Triple-A St. Paul. The Twins announced a 10-day re-evaluation period, though typical recovery for this injury ranges 3-6 weeks. Jenkins was showing offensive improvement prior to the injury, posting a .256/.396/.389 slash line over 111 plate appearances with a strong recent stretch (8-for-18 with 4 doubles, 1 HR, 4 RBIs, 6 runs, 4 walks against Iowa). This marks the second injury setback of the season for the 21-year-old, who previously missed time with a hamstring injury in spring training. Jenkins has a history of injuries dating back to his 2023 draft, including a 6-week hamstring strain in 2024 and an 8-week ankle sprain in 2025.
