Keaschall is expected to be ready for Opening Day after undergoing left thumb surgery in October to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He suffered the injury when he slid head-first into second base against the Texas Rangers on September 23 at Globe Life Field.
Last season, Keaschall hit .302/.382/.445 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 24 runs and 14 stolen bases in 49 games. He'll likely be the Twins' primary second baseman next season, and he may play some innings at first base and outfield as well.
Right-handed pitchers Pablo López, David Festa expected to be ready for Opening Day
Twins president Derek Falvey told The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman in November that López, who landed on the Injured List in late September with a right forearm strain, is fully healthy and is expected to have a normal offseason.
