Minnesota Twins first baseman/second baseman Luke Keaschall was busy in his MLB debut on Friday evening. At the plate, he went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a stolen base. He also scored a run. Keaschall would tally his RBI in the second frame on a single that scored catcher Ryan Jeffers. This was a promising debut for Keaschall, and this outing should keep him in the starting nine for the time being. Earlier in the season, Keaschall posted a strong .261/.379/.348 line across 14 games with Triple-A St. Paul. Keaschall would hit one double, one home run, and swiped four bags across this stint. Last season, the former second-round pick spent time with High-A and Double-A and held a cumulative .303/.420/.483 line. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should target Keaschall on the waiver wire this weekend.

The Minnesota Twins are expected to call up consensus top-100 prospect Luke Keaschall from Triple-A St. Paul this weekend to provide lineup help with injuries mounting early in the season, a team source told The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman. Third baseman Royce Lewis (hamstring) began the year on the injured list after getting hurt in spring training, and the Twins just placed outfielder Matt Wallner (hamstring) on the IL earlier this week. In addition, shortstop Carlos Correa (wrist) and utility man Willi Castro (oblique) were injured this week, leaving Minnesota's roster thin. Jose Miranda (hand) and Austin Martin (hamstring) are on the IL at St. Paul. Keaschall, a second-rounder in 2023, is the team's reigning minor-league player of the year and is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 3 prospect. He has only played second base in the minors this year, but he also has experience at first and center field. Keaschall has underrated power potential and above-average speed and could see regular playing time in the short term.

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Luke Keaschall started at second base during a spring training game on Tuesday. This was the first time Keaschall got the start at second base since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll noted that he will "DH some" and he will "play second some." However, as the season progresses, the team hopes to bring him back to the outfield. Last summer, Keaschall began the campaign with High-A before moving up to Double-A. Across 44 games with High-A, Keaschall posted a stellar .335/.457/.544 slash line. During his first 58 games at the Double-A level, the 22-year-old posted a strong .281/.393/.439 line. Dynasty managers should expect the Arizona state product to begin the campaign at the Double-A level.
