Hendry Mendez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Recovers from shoulder issue Mendez (shoulder) has gone 3-for-6 with an RBI in two games for Triple-A St. Paul since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Impact Mendez missed just over two weeks of action due to a left shoulder impingement. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .314/.408/.485 with eight home runs and four stolen bases over 54 games between St. Paul and Double-A Wichita this season.

Shelved with shoulder impingement Triple-A St. Paul placed Mendez on its 7-day injured list Saturday due to a left shoulder impingement, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Impact After opening the season at Double-A Wichita, Mendez earned a promotion to Triple-A in early May and has continued mashing, producing a .321/.431/.468 slash line with four home runs and three stolen bases in 130 plate appearances for St. Paul. Assuming Mendez is able to move past the shoulder issue quickly, he'll have a shot at making his MLB debut at some point in the second half of the season.

Ticketed for Double-A The Twins optioned Mendez to Double-A Wichita on Monday.

Impact Mendez is already in his third organization after previously being traded away by the Brewers and Phillies and is entering his first season as a member of a 40-man roster, after the Twins opted to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft over the winter. The 22-year-old outfielder will head back to Wichita to begin the 2026 campaign but could be in line for a quick promotion to Triple-A St. Paul after he slashed a blistering .324/.461/.450 in 33 games for the Double-A club upon coming over in a July 31 deal that sent Harrison Bader to Philadelphia.

Joins 40-man roster The Twins selected Mendez's contract from Double-A Wichita on Tuesday.

Impact Mendez spent all of 2025 in Double-A, posting a .299/.399/.439 slash line with 11 homers, 62 RBI, 68 runs scored and 10 steals over 491 plate appearances between Philadelphia's and Minnesota's affiliates. Now the owner of a 40-man roster spot, the 22-year-old doesn't have to worry about being selected in the Rule 5 Draft and can now focus on reaching Triple-A St. Paul sometime in 2026.

Impact Mendez spent the majority of the 2023 season with the High-A affiliate of the Brewers, slashing .236/.307/.326 with three home runs across 62 games in the Midwest League. He can play all three outfield spots and just turned 20 years old but still has a lot to work on offensively.

Returns from IL Mendez (undisclosed) went 1-for-2 with walk in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Peoria after High-A Wisconsin reinstated him from the 7-day injured list earlier in the day.

Impact Mendez appeared in four games for Wisconsin before he was placed on the IL on April 20 due to the unspecified issue, but he didn't miss extensive time before being activated. The 19-year-old outfielder is regarded as one of the better lower-level prospects in the Milwaukee system.
