Gio Urshela, Orlando Arcia Headline Twins Non-Roster Invitees

Gio Urshela, Orlando Arcia Headline Twins Non-Roster Invitees

Just days before camp opens, the Minnesota Twins announced their full list of non-roster invitees to Spring Training. The list is headlined by veteran infielders Gio Urshela and Orlando Arcia, plus top prospects Walker Jenkins (MLB Pipeline No. 14 overall) and Kaelen Culpepper (No. 52).

Veterans

Urshela played third base for the Twins in 2022; he's now mostly limited to third, first, and DH. With established starters at the corners, his odds of making the roster are long. Arcia has a better chance to earn the backup shortstop role behind Brooks Lee, as there's no clear alternative. Six NRIs appeared in the Major Leagues last year: Urshela, Arcia, catcher David Bañuelos, and pitchers Dan Altavilla, Matt Bowman, and Grant Hartwig.

Full NRI List

Pitchers: Altavilla, Trent Baker, Andrew Bash, Bowman, Raul Brito, Matt Canterino, Hartwig, Cory Lewis, Christian MacLeod Catchers: Bañuelos, Noah Cardenas, Andrew Cossetti, Ricardo Olivar, Patrick Winkel Infielders: Arcia, Culpepper, Aaron Sabato, Tanner Schobel, Urshela Outfielders: Kyler Fedko, Jenkins, Kala'i Rosario Browse the marketplace to see how Twins roster construction affects values on AthX. *Sources: MLB.com – Twins non-roster invitees.
