Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers team news, injury reports & key players

Minnesota Twins team news

The Twins (4-9), on the other hand, are searching for answers after a rough start to 2025. Their bats have shown occasional life, but consistency has been hard to come by. Ty France has chipped in 12 hits, including a pair of homers and three doubles, while driving in five runs. Harrison Bader leads the team in RBIs with 10, fueled by three home runs and a double in his nine-hit start to the season. Matt Wallner has been getting on base, notching 11 hits with four doubles, a triple, and a homer to go along with eight walks, though he’s only driven in two. Willi Castro has added nine hits, highlighted by five doubles and a homer, and has swiped a base.

Minnesota will hand the ball to David Festa, who’s set to make his 2025 season debut. The 25-year-old righty made 14 appearances (13 starts) for the Twins last year, going 2-6 with a 4.90 ERA. A former standout at Seton Hall, Festa will be looking to make a strong first impression as he rejoins the rotation.

Detroit Tigers team news

Spencer Torkelson continues to set the tone for Detroit’s offense, racking up 14 hits including five doubles and three homers. He’s added seven RBIs, drawn seven walks, and even chipped in a stolen base. Zach McKinstry has been another sparkplug, collecting two triples, a homer, and six RBIs while showing patience at the plate with six walks. He’s also swiped a bag. Kerry Carpenter has made his hits count, launching four long balls and a double among his eight knocks, while driving in a team-best nine runs. Riley Greene remains consistent as well, tallying 14 hits with four doubles, three home runs, and five RBIs.

Detroit will turn to right-hander Reese Olson (1-1, 5.06 ERA) to open the series on the mound. The 24-year-old struggled in his season debut against the Dodgers, surrendering four runs over 4.2 innings, but rebounded nicely in his second outing. He tossed six strong frames against the White Sox, giving up just two runs to notch his first win of the year.
