The Twins promoted Houston from High-A Cedar Rapids to Double-A Wichita on Monday.
Houston earned the bump up to the Texas League after slashing .325/.406/.461 with five home runs and 24 steals (on 26 attempts) across 268 plate appearances with Cedar Rapids. The 22-year-old is viewed as a plus defender at shortstop, but he could nonetheless get more exposure to second base and third base in the higher levels of the minors if the Twins envision him serving as a utility infielder once he reaches the big leagues.

Twins' Marek Houston: Promoted to High-A
Rotowire
Houston was recently promoted to High-A Cedar Rapids. He's 1-for-10 with a stolen base in his first two games. He was promoted after hitting .370 with a .868 OPS for Single-A Fort Myers in 12 games.
Houston, the 16th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, was a bit old for Single-A at age 21 out of Wake Forest, so this isn't too surprising. Still, it shows the Twins are optimistic about his progress after an initial look at Fort Myers.
