| 4/29/25 | Twins' top prospect Walker Jenkins can't shake nagging ankle injury. If Walker Jenkins is going to rise fast through the Minnesota Twins' farm system, he's going to need his ankle to start cooperating. On Tuesday, the Twins revealed negative news on the club's No. 1 prospect, saying Jenkins will be out through at least the end of May due to lingering ankle soreness. Jenkins received a cortisone injection in his left ankle — the ankle that he sprained during spring training and then played two games and had eight at-bats at Double-A Wichita before being shut down because of discomfort in the ankle. Jenkins missed the first two months of last season at Class A after suffering a hamstring injury on Opening Day. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-news/... |

| 1/30/25 | Twins prospect Walker Jenkins welcomes high expectations after 'below average' season. Even if Jenkins didn't have the perfect season he wanted — he had a 28-game on-base streak during June and July — scouts raved about him.

The sixth overall pick in the stacked 2023 class, Jenkins took the top spot on this list last year and is the odds-on favorite to claim it again next season unless the Twinkies really slam the gas on his development: an outcome he might invite with a hot start at Double-A.
