John Klein - Working as starter Klein will be built up as a starter this spring, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

Impact Klein was used as a starter and reliever in the minors last season. He had a strong 10.8 K/9 which could make him a candidate for the bullpen at some point. He had a good season at Double-A Wichita with a 3.12 ERA and 95:24 K:BB ratio in 80.2 innings, but struggled when called up to Triple-A with a 6.66 ERA and 33:13 K:BB in 25.2 innings.

Impact Raya had a 22.6% strikeout rate last season at Triple-A, but a 12.6% walk rate helped result in a 6.02 ERA. If Raya can reduce his walks at Triple-A he could be a candidate for the major league bullpen this summer.

David Festa - Throws against hitters Festa (shoulder) threw live at-bats against hitters Saturday and was sitting at 91-92 mph with his fastball, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Festa had a compressed nerve near his pitching shoulder last season and is working his way back to full strength. He still has a chance to win a rotation spot this spring despite being eased back into action. Saturday's session is a sign he's making progress as he had previously only been throwing bullpen sessions.

Luke Keaschall - Starting Saturday's exhibition Keaschall (thumb) will start at second base and bat second in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

Impact A left thumb injury ended Keaschall's 2025 season and required surgery in October, but he is ready to roll this spring. While he didn't flash a ton of over-the-fence pop as a rookie with four homers in 49 games, Keaschall displayed an intriguing combination of contact, gap power and speed.

Pablo López - Will have Tommy John surgery Lopez (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery next Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a massive loss for a Twins team that was already thin on talent, as Minnesota will now be without its ace for the entirety of the 2025 campaign. Lopez suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow earlier this week and had hoped to avoid the dreaded Tommy John operation. With Lopez's season done before it even got started, the Twins will now head into Grapefruit League play with Joe Ryan atop the rotation, followed by Bailey Ober, Zebby Matthews, Simeon Woods Richardson and Taj Bradley.
