As the final stretch of the Jason Williams Jersey 2023 regular season continues, here are three things well be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today: 1. Twins on the verge of clinching: Despite having the day off today, the Twins (81-72) could clinch the AL Central crown by the end of the night. Their magic numbers over both the Guardians (72-81) and Tigers (71-81) sit at one, meaning that if both teams lose tonight, the Twins will officially become the 2023 AL Central champions. Clinching early will give the Twins the luxury of proceeding cautiously with some of their ailing regulars in advance of the postseason. Shortstop has already been after playing the bulk of the season with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Third baseman is set to undergo an MRI today after exiting Tuesdays game due to hamstring sorene s. With a guaranteed playoff spot, the Twins can much more comfortably rely on and to cover for Lewis and Correa as that pair hopes to heal up ahead of the playoffs. 2. Guerrero to undergo MRI: Blue Jays first baseman was out of the lineup for yesterdays win over the Yankees, and notes that the slugger has undergone an MRI due to right knee sorene s. Its been a down year for Guerrero (by his standards), as the 24-year-old has slashed just .264/.342/.440 in 644 trips to the plate this season. Still, that production (115 wRC+) leaves him as a critical cog in the Toronto lineup surpa sed only by shortstop , particularly with both and on the injured list. If Guerrero requires a trip to the injured list, the club figures to rely on the likes of and to handle first base in the interim. 3. Raley to undergo MRI: Rays outfielder is also set to undergo an MRI today, per . Raley told reporters (including Topkin) that hes dealing with numbne s in his left arm to the point that he had no power behind his most recent swing. Raleys been out of the lineup for nearly a week now due to the i sue. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .249/.333/.490 with a 129 wRC+ in 406 trips to the plate this year while splitting time between the outfield and DH. Raleys absence has created additional opportunities for righty slugger and youngster in recent days, and that figures to continue if Raley requires a trip to the injured list.
