MINNEAPOLIS – The Walker Jenkins era is about to begin.
明尼阿波利斯 (MINNEAPOLIS) – Walker Jenkins 的時代即將開啟。
The Twins are promoting their No. 1 prospect (No. 15 overall on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list) from Triple-A St. Paul, with the expectation that he will make his Major League debut in Friday night’s home series opener against the White Sox.
雙城隊正將隊上第 1 名新秀（MLB Pipeline 百大新秀榜總排名第 15）從 3A 聖保羅(Triple-A St. Paul) 升上大聯盟，預計他將在週五晚上主場迎戰白襪隊的系列賽首戰中完成大聯盟初登場。
The move comes in the context of health questions around star outfielder Byron Buxton, who aggravated a lingering hip injury on Tuesday night against the A’s.
這項人事異動的背景，是源於明星外野手 Byron Buxton 的健康疑慮；他在週二晚上對陣運動家隊的比賽中，加重了纏身已久的髖部傷勢。
Jenkins, a left-handed-hitting center fielder, has been absolutely
unstoppable at the plate at Triple-A this month, making him a clear choice to cover for Buxton if he needs to miss any time.
Jenkins 是一位左打的中外野手，本月他在 3A 的打擊表現完全無法阻擋，這讓他成為Buxton 若需缺陣時遞補的最佳人選。

Buxton has been dealing with a right hip issue since May and has been on the injured list twice as a result of it. On Monday against the Athletics, he had his best game in weeks and appeared to be moving well, but he came out of Tuesday night’s game after moving awkwardly to try to field a ball in the left-center-field gap.
Buxton 自 5 月以來就一直受到右髖部問題的困擾，並因此兩度進入傷兵名單。週一對陣運動家隊時，他打出了數週以來最好的一場比賽，且看起來跑動正常；但到了週二晚上，他在試圖處理一顆左中外野接縫處的飛球時動作出現彆扭，隨後便退場休息。
For Jenkins, the promotion is the culmination of a stunning surge in recent weeks. He’s long shown an impressive all-around game, with speed, defense, and the ability to get on base, and since the beginning of August his power has emerged.
對 Jenkins 而言，這次升道是大聯盟是近幾週驚人爆發的頂點。他長期以來展現出令人印象深刻的全能身手，兼具速度、守備與上壘能力，而自 8 月初以來，他的長打火力也開始釋放。

WALK'S WITH US‼
WELCOME TO THE SHOW, WALKER JENKINS!
Jenkins, 21, hit his eighth home run of the month for St. Paul on Wednesday, extending a run that has seen him simply obliterate International League pitching. Calls had been growing for his promotion even before Buxton’s
injury.
現年 21 歲的 Jenkins 在週三代表聖保羅 (St. Paul) 擊出了本月的第 8 支全壘打，延續了他橫掃國際聯盟 (International League) 投手的火熱狀態。甚至在 Buxton 受傷之前，要求將他升上大聯盟的呼聲就已經越來越高。
A North Carolina native, Jenkins was the fifth overall pick in the 2023
Draft. He has performed at every level of the Minor Leagues, though this is the third consecutive season that he has been hampered by injuries.
出生於北卡羅來納州 (North Carolina) 的 Jenkins 是 2023 年選秀會的第 5 順位。他在小聯盟的各個層級都有極佳發揮，儘管這已經是他連續第三個受到傷勢困擾的球季。
Jenkins follows fellow top prospect Kaelen Culpepper, a shortstop who was called up earlier in August.
Jenkins 緊隨同為頂級新秀的游擊手 Kaelen Culpepper 的腳步，後者已在 8 月較早時被召上大聯盟。
