Falvey also said that top prospect Luke Keaschall, currently at AA-Wichita and was featured in the Futures Game All-Star weekend, will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. He’ll be ready to go for spring training next year.

The Twins will need a starting pitcher for next Tuesday vs. Kansas City, and Falvey noted that prospect Zebby Matthews is in consideration. He’s in the rotation currently for AAA-St. Paul.

The Twins are also exploring outside options, a source tells KSTP. One name on their radar is Rich Hill. He held a showcase on Friday for interested teams. He pitched for the Twins in 2020.
