Raleigh sits after starting four straight games, a stretch in which he went 0-for-13 at the plate. Curt Casali will start behind the plate Saturday.

Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 9-0 win over the Giants on Friday.

Sanchez joined in on the Twins' offensive onslaught off beleaguered Giants starter Alex Wood with a two-run homer of his own. It was Sanchez's 12th long ball of the season and he picked up his 44th RBI with the hit. Sanchez is slashing .216/.282/.394 over 315 at-bats in his first season in Minnesota.

Trevino underwent X-rays on his foot Friday that came back negative, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Trevino was replaced defensively in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday after being hit by a pitch in the top of the eighth, but he isn't believed to be dealing with any structural damage in his right foot. He should be considered day-to-day for now, while Kyle Higashioka will likely see additional looks behind the plate if Trevino is forced to miss time.
