DaShawn Keirsey Jr. - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench after five straight starts Keirsey is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact With injuries mounting for the Twins in recent days, Keirsey has been one of the main beneficiaries. He started in each of the last five games, going 3-for-19 with a home run and a stolen base during that stretch. Until the Twins get one of Byron Buxton (concussion) or Matt Wallner (hamstring) back from the injured list, the left-handed-hitting Keirsey could have a regular spot in the outfield against right-handed pitching, but Keirsey will hit the bench Monday while southpaw Logan Allen toes the rubber for Cleveland.

Last Night in Baseball: Shohei Ohtani has another wild bobblehead night

Launches home run Keirsey went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

Impact Keirsey tagged Tomoyuki Sugano for a two-run shot in the third inning - the first of back-to-back home runs for the Twins. The long ball was Keirsey's first of 2025 and the second of his big-league career. Keirsey entered Thursday's contest with one hit in his previous 21 at-bats. While he couldn't put together a multi-hit outing, the long ball could be what Keirsey needed to snap out of the slump.

Returns from hand injury Keirsey (hand) entered Tuesday's win over the White Sox in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement in right field.

Impact Keirsey exited Saturday's game against Atlanta with a hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch. While he hasn't had a plate appearance since, it looks like he's healthy enough to be an option off the bench.

Leaves with bruised hand Keirsey exited Saturday's game against Atlanta with a hand contusion, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

Impact Keirsey got the start in right field for Minnesota but was lifted in the top of the fourth inning for pinch hitter Trevor Larnach after Keirsey was hit in the hand earlier in the game. He's likely to undergo further testing on the hand.

Gets start in RF Keirsey started in right field and went 0-for-4 with one steal in Friday's loss to Atlanta. He hit ninth in the batting order.

Impact Keirsey replaced injured Matt Wallner (hamstring) in right field and could continue to get starts in his place if he gets hot at the plate. He has speed to help fantasy teams (37 steals at Triple-A last season) but hasn't yet shown he can hit at the major league level. He's hitting .154 (2-for-13) after hitting .111 (2-for-18) in just 13 major league games last year.

Makes Minnesota's roster The Twins informed Keirsey on Monday that he has made the Opening Day roster, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Keirsey earned the spot after hitting .275 with one home run and three stolen bases during Grapefruit League play. The 27-year-old can handle all three outfield spots and will operate mostly as a backup, although he could draw some starts in the outfield on days the Twins use Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton or Matt Wallner at designated hitter.

Impact With Trevor Larnach (hamstring) set to miss the rest of the year due to a hamstring injury, Keirsey will rejoin the Twins to give the big squad some outfield depth. The 27-year-old went just 1-for-10 during his first stint in the majors.

Optioned to St. Paul The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Impact With Carlos Correa (heel) returning from the injured list, Keirsey will be squeezed back to the minors in order to clear space on Minnesota's active roster. The 27-year-old outfielder went 1-for-10 during his time in the big leagues and only figures to return this season if the Twins' outfield depth is tested during the final few weeks.
