Mickey Gasper and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. have earned spots on the Minnesota Twins' Opening Day roster, enhancing the team's dynamic for the 2025 season. Gasper, acquired from the Boston Red Sox, is a versatile player trained in multiple positions, while Keirsey, who has shown impressive defensive skills and speed, adds depth to the outfield.

Gasper's journey includes a solid minor league season with a .328 batting average, and he looks to leverage this momentum in the majors. His performance in spring training, where he batted .308, solidifies his role as a backup infielder and catcher. Meanwhile, Keirsey's previous six-game stint last September showcased his potential, and he is expected to contribute significantly off the bench.
