Twins OF prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez launched a grand slam on Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul.
Rodriguez’s first round-tripper of the season traveled a whopping 451 feet and left his bat at 113.6 mph. That’ll work. The 23-year-old top prospect’s stock has slipped a bit over the past calendar year as injuries limited him to just 65 games in the minors last season. His blend of power and patience should make him an impactful fantasy contributor once he reaches the majors. There’s zero incentive for the rebuilding Twins to rush him, but he figures to make it to Minnesota at some point later this year.
