Pena went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Houston was nearly shut out, but Pena helped the team avoid that outcome with a three-run blast in the ninth inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and his first since April 3. The knock also extended Pena's modest hitting streak to six games, during which he' s batted .304 (7-for-23).

Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Yankees.

Witt opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the third inning. It was his second home run of the year and first since April 5. Despite the relative lack of power so far, Witt owns a strong .317/.397/.508 slash line with 11 runs scored through 17 games.

Story went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Story opened the game's scoring with a two-run double in the sixth inning and tacked on an insurance run with his solo shot in the ninth. He had just one extra-base hit in eight games since his last home run April 4. The veteran shortstop looks more like his vintage self with a strong .308/.328/.477 slash line through 67 plate appearances.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Anderson will hit the bench after he had made six straight starts at either second base or shortstop while going 2-for-19 with two walks, two runs, one RBI and one stolen base. Kyren Paris will likely hold down the fort at second base while Yoan Moncada (thumb) is on the shelf, and Luis Rengifo will shift to third base, but Anderson could still see consistent playing time at shortstop ahead of Kevin Newman and Nicky Lopez.

Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Correa will retreat to the bench for the first time all season after drawing 15 consecutive starts. Willi Castro will fill in at shortstop for Correa, who should be back in the lineup for the Twins' next game Monday against the Mets.

Story went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

Story is off and running to start the 2025 season and is up to six stolen bases through 16 games. He's stolen at least one bag in three consecutive games. Of course, the Red Sox expect more than a .695 OPS (three extra-base hits) from the veteran shortstop, but the steals are helpful to fantasy managers.

The Twins reinstated Lee (back) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Minnesota optioned Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul to open up a spot on the active roster for Lee, who began the season on the shelf while recovering from a lumbar strain. After going 4-for-13 with a walk over four rehab games between Single-A Fort Myers and St. Paul, Lee looks healthy again and could push Edouard Julien for an everyday role in the Minnesota infield. At the very least, the switch-hitting Lee will be an option to replace the left-handed-hitting Julien when the Twins face left-handed pitching.

Bichette went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

Bichette took the first pitch he saw to center field for a double, and two pitches later he came across home plate on a Vladimir Guerrero RBI double to give the Blue Jays the early lead. Saturday marked the fourth time this season that Bichette has logged at least three hits. He's begun the season slashing .313/.366/.391 with no homers or steals but six runs scored, five doubles and nine RBI across 70 plate appearances.

The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Jones was sent down to the minors Friday in order to make room for Chase Meidroth, but he'll now return to the White Sox to make up for the loss of Austin Slater (knee). Jones has slashed .129/.270/.258 with five RBI and four stolen bases across nine Triple-A games this season.

Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Friday.

Amaya has started six straight games at shortstop and 11 of 13 games overall. He's struggled mightily, collecting only four hits across 33 at-bats, though he managed his first extra-base hit of the season Friday to account for his two RBI. The addition of Chase Meidroth could threaten Amaya's playing time, though the White Sox have a number of moving pieces, so the situation will be worth monitoring.
