Wade is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

Wade and Jake Cave have been sharing starting duties in center field while Byron Buxton (shoulder) is on the injured list but with both of them struggling at the plate, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has opted to start neither of them and instead shift Max Kepler over to center while placing Marwin Gonzalez in right field Saturday.

White received an MRI on his sore shoulder Friday but was said to be feeling better and could get back into action soon, the Associated Press reports.

Manager Scott Servais relayed the report on White's condition, confirming the rookie appeared to be making some progress with the shoulder issue that forced him from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres. White has already missed two games, but Servais noted Friday he's hopeful the first baseman will be able to get work in before Saturday's contest and possibly reenter the lineup soon. "He's less worried about it, so still moving in the right direction there," Servais said.

Santana went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, four runs scored and three walks in Friday's 14-2 win over the Cardinals.

Santana's biggest hit of the game was his second-inning homer to give Cleveland a 6-0 lead, but he was able to keep the line moving throughout the contest. The 34-year-old is slashing .229/.414/.362 with four homers, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored in 32 games this season.

White (shoulder) isn't in Friday's lineup against the Angels.

White was removed from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader due to right shoulder discomfort, and he'll remain on the bench Friday. Jose Marmolejos will take over at first base.

White (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres.

White left the first game of the twin bill with right shoulder discomfort, and he'll be on the bench for Game 2. Jose Marmolejos will start at first base in his stead.

White left Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader with right shoulder discomfort, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

White was removed from the game in the bottom of the third inning after appearing to suffer the injury during an at-bat earlier in the contest. The severity of the injury isn't clear, and it's not yet known when he could return to the field.

White was removed from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres with an apparent chest injury, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

White appeared to grab his chest area after an at-bat in the top of the second inning, and he was replaced by Jose Marmolejos defensively in the bottom of the third inning. It's unclear whether White will be available for the second game of Thursday's twin bill.

General manager Al Avila implied that Torkelson will not make his big-league debut in 2020, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

This isn't all too surprising, as the Tigers have no reason to rush their 2020 No. 1 overall pick to the majors. In the meantime, he'll continue his development at the team's alternate camp site.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta. He followed with an 0-for-3 performance in Game 2.

On a day in which the vaunted Yankees offense managed a mere two runs in 14 innings, Voit provided one of the few highlights with a solo shot to right field in the early contest. The blast marked the first baseman's fifth straight game with a homer, establishing a career best. Voit wasn't able to continue the streak in Game 2, but he still leads the Yankees with 11 home runs, 58 total bases, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored on the season.

Tellez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI as he led the Blue Jays to a 9-1 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Tellez had an exceptional night at the plate Wednesday with his first multi-homer game of the season. The 25-year-old had a solo shot in the second inning before going deep once again in the fourth. Despite his breakout game, Tellez continues to regularly sit against left-handed pitching and should still not be counted on as an everyday player.
