\n\tThe Minnesota Twins will once again get a chance to showcase the future of their organization later this month.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tMajor League Baseball\u2019s third annual Spring Breakout event will take place from March 19 through March 22, highlighting the game\u2019s top prospects in exhibition matchups during spring training. Minnesota will host the Philadelphia Phillies prospects on Thursday, March 19, at 12:05 p.m. CT. Fans will have several ways to watch the game. It will air on MLB Network and MNNT, and stream for free on MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB app.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tFor the Twins, this year\u2019s game should feature several players who could eventually factor into the team\u2019s long-term plans.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Twins were hoping to showcase outfielder Walker Jenkins<\/a>, the club\u2019s top-ranked prospect. However, his status for the event remains uncertain after he recently suffered a left hamstring injury. He is still included in the initial player pool listed below.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n\tBecause pitchers must remain on their scheduled throwing days during spring training, it can be difficult to predict exactly who will appear in the game. Even so, Minnesota has no shortage of candidates who could take the mound during the showcase.\n<\/p>\n \n\tHow the roster works \n\tThis year, the process includes two phases. Teams first submit a preliminary 40-player pool, then trim it down to a final roster of roughly 23 to 27 players shortly before the event.\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe larger pool allows teams to adjust for injuries, pitching schedules, and the player movement that can occur during spring training. It also accounts for prospects who may be unavailable because of assignments in the Dominican Summer League or other roster considerations.\n<\/p>\n \n\tMinnesota\u2019s preliminary group features a strong mix of highly ranked prospects and additional depth players. Even if a few names are unavailable by the time the final roster is set, the Twins should still field a group worth watching when they face the Phillies’ prospects.\n<\/p>\n \n\tPreliminary 40-man player pool \t\tMatt Barr, RHP <\/p>\n \t\tKyle Bischoff<\/a>, RHP<\/p>\n \t\tMiguelangel Boadas<\/a>, RHP<\/p>\n \t\tAdrian Bohorquez<\/a>, RHP<\/p>\n \t\tSantiago Castellanos<\/a>, RHP<\/p>\n \t\tC.J.

According to MLB.com<\/a>, Spring Breakout rosters are created using MLB Pipeline\u2019s Top 30 prospects for each organization as a foundation. Players who still maintain rookie eligibility for the 2026 season are eligible to be selected for the event.\n<\/p>\n
