Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Day-to-day with hand injury
Culpepper was held out of the lineup Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul's 3-2 loss to Buffalo due to an apparent left hand injury, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
During Tuesday's contest, Culpepper was hit on the hand by a pitch in the first inning. He was able to take his base, but he was then lifted from the game ahead of the second inning. According to Tollefson, Culpepper is still awaiting the results of X-rays on his hand and is being viewed as day-to-day. Culpepper had recently recovered from a left hip strain, which kept him out of action at St. Paul for just over two weeks.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Won't make start this week
Prielipp isn't listed among the Twins' probable starting pitchers for their three-game weekend series versus the Yankees in New York.
The Twins will end up going with a four-man rotation during their six-game week, with Prielipp having his turn skipped after he struck out a career-high 10 batters over six innings in his last outing Sunday against the Rockies. Prielipp has covered six innings and tossed 90-plus pitches in four of his last five starts, so the Twins may simply be looking to manage the workload of the 25-year-old lefty, who previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and a UCL repair with an internal brace in July 2023. If he isn't used out of the bullpen over the weekend, Prielipp will likely re-enter the rotation at some point during the Twins' home series with the Guardians that runs Tuesday through Thursday.

Twins' Kody Clemens: Homers in win
Clemens went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 8-3 win against the Astros.
Clemens delivered what ended up being the game-deciding runs when he clubbed his 14th homer of the season during the second inning. The super-utility man got his sixth straight start at second base and continues to be utilized all across the diamond with 48 appearances at first base and 29 in the outfield so far this year.

Twins' Josh Bell: Launches homer in win
Bell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-3 win against the Astros.
Bell started off the scoring for the Twins on Wednesday when he tattooed a ball over the batter's eye in center field off of Tatsuya Imai during the opening frame. The 33-year-old slugger now has a 16-game road hitting streak, which is the longest active streak in the majors. After a slow start, Bell has now raised his OPS to .713 and leads the team in RBI with 56.

Twins' Taj Bradley: Fans 11 in win
Bradley (7-3) allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out 11 over five innings to earn the win over Houston on Wednesday.
Bradley threw five solid innings, with the only damage against him coming during the first inning as he struck out a season-high 11 batters. The righty is pitching well over his past three starts with just five runs allowed and a 22:8 K:BB across 17 innings. The 25-year-old is slated to pitch next week against the Guardians.

Twins' Matt Barr: Recovers from broken arm
Single-A Fort Myers reinstated Barr (arm) from its 60-day injured list June 23 and assigned him to the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Barr opened the season on Fort Myers' IL after he developed a stress fracture in his right arm during spring training. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the FCL on May 25 and looks like he'll end up sticking around with the affiliate for a little while longer before potentially moving back up to the Twins' Florida State League affiliate. Through six starts in the Complex League, Barr has turned in a 6.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:9 K:BB in 12 innings.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Out for third straight game
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
The Twins are viewing Buxton day-to-day while he recovers from a right hip impingement, which will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive game. Minnesota is off Thursday, so Buxton's condition will presumably be reassessed Friday, when the team opens a three-game series versus the Yankees. Ryan Kreidler will pick up another start in center field Wednesday in place of Buxton.

Twins' Joe Ryan: Crumbles in fourth frame
Ryan (5-5) took the loss against Houston on Tuesday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five batters over four innings.
Ryan got through three frames without allowing any runs, but things unraveled for him in the fourth. In that inning, Houston struck for six runs on four hits, including a Yordan Alvarez grand slam. Ryan didn't help himself by issuing two free passes in the frame, with both players he walked coming around to score. The veteran right-hander had a shaky June -- despite posting a strong 43:8 K:BB over 33 innings, he also registered a 4.91 ERA across his six starts. Ryan still has a fine 3.61 ERA and a strong 1.08 WHIP overall on the campaign, and his 113 strikeouts are fifth-most in the American League.

Twins' Luke Keaschall: Receiving break Tuesday
Keaschall is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.
After making his first 72 starts of the season at second base, Keaschall moved to right field for his last four starts. Though Keaschall will give way to Austin Martin on Tuesday, the Twins appear committed to giving the 23-year-old an extended look at the new position, so he could soon gain outfield eligibility in fantasy leagues. That said, Keaschall may need to improve his all-around production before managers in shallower leagues can feel comfortable including him in lineups at any position. While he's stayed healthy throughout the season and has been a solid source of speed with 12 stolen bases, Keaschall's numbers are lacking in just about every other category (.245 average, two home runs, 40 runs, 24 RBI).

Twins' Byron Buxton: Sitting again Tuesday
Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
It's the second straight absence from the lineup for Buxton, who is considered day-to-day after an MRI revealed a right hip impingement. The center fielder appears to have avoided a serious injury, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Twins also hold him out for Wednesday's series finale in Houston since the club has a team day off Thursday.

Twins' Victor Caratini: Reaches three times, clubs homer
Caratini went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks against Houston in a 5-4 victory Monday.
Caratini went back-to-back with Royce Lewis in the fourth inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. After going deep just three times over his first 52 contests of the campaign, Caratini has swatted four home runs across his past 10 games. He's had a standout June, batting .355 with five homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a 9:11 BB:K over 19 contests. Ryan Jeffers (hand) could return to action at some point in July, but Caratini may have done enough in Jeffers' absence to retain more than a typical backup's workload.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Records one-out save
Gomez notched a save against the Astros on Monday, allowing one run on one hit over one-third of an inning.
Minnesota held a 5-1 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, but Houston rallied off reliever Travis Adams for a pair of runs. Twins manager Derek Shelton then turned to Gomez, who served up a solo homer to Cam Smith before getting Joey Loperfido on a game-ending groundout. It wasn't the cleanest outing by Gomez, but he recorded his sixth save (in six chances) so far in June to further strengthen his grasp on Minnesota's closer role. The right-hander gave up 12 earned runs across his first 15.1 frames this season, but he's been outstanding since then, posting a 1.50 ERA with a 23:8 K:BB across 24 innings spanning his past 26 appearances.

Twins' Zebby Matthews: Sparkles in victory
Matthews (4-5) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings.
Matthews gave up just one extra-base hit Monday, a fifth-inning solo homer by Cam Smith. That was also the only run the righty-handed hurler allowed en route to his third straight quality start. Matthews matched his season high with seven punchouts and needed a modest 89 pitches (59 strikes) to cover seven frames, tying his longest outing of the campaign. He's had two seven-run clunkers this season but has given up three or fewer runs in each of his other seven starts, putting him at a decent 4.15 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB through 56.1 innings overall.
