Minnesota Twins Triple-A St. Paul catcher Jair Camargo and High-A Cedar Rapids right-handed pitcher Andrew Morris were named Twins minor league Player and Pitcher of the Week.
Jair Camargo, a 24-year-old catcher from Barranquilla, Colombia, was acquired as part of the Twins-Dodgers Kenta Maeda trade that sent Brusdar Graterol to the Los Angeles Dodgers in February 2020. Camargo was added to the Twins 40-man roster this past November. This past week Camargo played in six games for the AAA St. Paul Saints, hitting .273 (6-for-22) with one double, one home runs, three RBI, three walks and just four strikeouts.
Andrew Morris is a New York, NY native and was selected by the Twins in the fourth round of the 2022 First-Year Player Draft out of Texas Tech University. He is currently ranked as the 18th-best prospect in the Twins system by MLB.com. Morris, 22, made the Opening Day start for the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Friday night at Beloit, pitching 4.0 shutout innings with three hits allowed, one walk and six strikeouts.
