FORT MYERS, Fla. \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Twins No. 1 prospect\u00a0Walker Jenkins\u00a0has been added to the All-Star Futures Game roster, as announced by the offices of Major League Baseball earlier today.<\/p>\n
Jenkins joins Twins No. 2 prospect\u00a0Kaelen Culpepper\u00a0as Twins\u2019 representatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The No. 14 prospect in MLB has appeared in 54 games with the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels over parts of the past four seasons. He has hit .317 with a .914 OPS across those contests, with the majority of the games coming in the 2024 season.

In 2026, Jenkins has a .912 OPS in 35 games, 31 of which have come with Triple-A St. Paul. Jenkins rehabbed with the Mussels for a single game on June 13 and recorded a career high four hits in that contest while falling a triple shy of the cycle.<\/p>\n
For his MiLB career, the outfielder has a slash line of .297\/.401\/.469 with an .870 OPS. The 21-year-old has 88 extra-base hits and 47 stolen bases in 227 career games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
