The Minnesota Twins have made a significant roster move by promoting their top prospect, Brooks Lee, to the major league. Lee, ranked No. 13 in baseball, will make his debut against the Detroit Tigers. The 23-year-old infielder has impressed at Triple-A with a .329 batting average, seven homers, and 21 RBIs. This promotion comes as infielder Royce Lewis lands on the injured list with a Grade 2 right adductor strain. Lewis, who had been performing well with a .984 OPS, will be out until after the All-Star break. The Twins are hoping for Lee to provide a spark in Lewis' absence. This shift in the roster demonstrates the team's commitment to developing young talent and navigating injuries to key players.
