Twins Faces Injuries as Oliva Kaat Outlook Grows Bleaker
Minnesota stars Tony Oliva and Jim Kaat may miss the season with knee and hand injuries. Oliva is training daily, aiming to return for pinch hitting next month after knee surgery in June. Kaat’s future unclear due to a cracked pitching hand bone. Harmon Killebrew, Cesar Tovar, Rod Carew, and Steve Braun have also missed time, yet Minnesota remains in the AL West pennant race. The club, praised by president Calvin Griffith, seeks an eight or nine game streak to stay in contention. They open a three game set with Detroit at Metropolitan Stadium Friday.
