	The door is open for Luis Garcia's second chance this season.




	The Minnesota Twins placed right-hander reliever Garrett Acton on the 15-day injured list with a strained right shoulder and promoted Garcia from Triple-A St. Paul.

Slowly, but surely, it&#x2019;s feeling more like spring. On Tuesday, the Saints put on an offensive showcase, decimating Iowa Cubs pitching to the tune of six home runs.

	Through the first month of the 2026 season, the Twins&#x2019; lineup has been a mix of early surprises, consistent contributors, and slow starts.
