It's a crowded outfield with Byron Buxton back, but Jenkins is a consensus top 20 prospect thriving at Triple-A and the Twins are fighting for a playoff spot.
Buxton could be eyeing a Field of Dreams comeback on Netflix. Plus, a state-of-the-site check-in after three months of independence and a St. Paul dream.
It's a crowded outfield with Byron Buxton back, but Jenkins is a consensus top 20 prospect thriving at Triple-A and the Twins are fighting for a playoff spot.

After slow starts, Lewis and Wallner were sent to Triple-A in May. Three months later, one is back in the Twins' plans and one sounds resigned to moving on.
Collecting my post-deadline thoughts now that the dust has settled, including a pair of theories about the Twins' decision-making approach.
By adding Hoffman, A.J. Minter, and Dean Kremer without subtracting any major leaguers, the front office gave the Twins a real chance to grab a playoff spot.
With three more days to continue shopping before the trade deadline, the Twins have added A.J. Minter to the bullpen and Kremer to the rotation.
In a move that shows the Twins are indeed buyers, Minter is likely to replace the injured Anthony Banda as the bullpen's No. 1 left-hander.
Why did Tristan Gray get the call up to replace Buxton? What's wrong with Ryan? And oft-injured prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez is on the comeback trail.
