Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Duran will see the majority of the reps at first base while Jake Burger (oblique) is on the injured list, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Bochy also gave Duran some praise for his recent work at the plate, which is another positive sign for Duran's fantasy outlook. The 26-year-old has just 51 plate appearances this season and has logged a poor .455 OPS, but he has three doubles in his last nine at-bats and will have an opportunity to prove himself in a larger role. Justin Foscue and Josh Smith could occasionally start at first base while Burger is sidelined.

Meidroth is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Meidroth will get the day off Saturday after making three consecutive starts at shortstop. In his place, Vinny Capra will bat ninth and play shortstop.

Culpepper was promoted to Double-A Wichita after hitting .293/.385/.479 with nine home runs and 15 stolen bases in 54 games for High-A Cedar Rapids.

The 21st overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has shown improved power and speed in his second professional season along with solid walk (19.8 percent) and strikeout (16.6 percent) rates. Culpepper has been developed as a shortstop so far by the Twins, but it's not clear if that will be his eventual defensive home in the majors with Carlos Correa under contract through at least 2028 and Brooks Lee waiting in the wings behind him.

Bichette went 3-for-4 with a double and a RBI during Friday's 7-1 loss to the White Sox.

Bichette has reached base safely in five consecutive contests and has a couple of three-hit games to his name over that time as well. The 27-year-old is 9-for-21 (.429 batting average) with two doubles, two home runs and five RBI during his streak. His run-producing ability out of the leadoff spot has been valuable to the team; he has 43 RBI when hitting at the top of the order this year, second behind only Shohei Ohtani in MLB.

Seager went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.

Seager got a weight off his shoulder, homering for the first time in 19 contests and the first time since returning from a hamstring injury May 28. He entered the game batting .143 with just two RBI over the previous 18 games.

Smith went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.

Smith returned to action following a three-game hiatus due to a hamstring injury. His leadoff single to open the game extended his hitting streak to eight games (14-for-36, .389) and an on-base streak to 12 contests (.426 OBP). Smith is expected to retain his role as the team's leadoff batter and primary designated hitter against right-handers.

Pena went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Angels.

The shortstop led off the game by taking Yusei Kikuchi deep -- Pena's first long ball in June and 10th of the season. He's hardly been quiet at the plate, however, reeling off three straight multi-hit performances and slashing .395/.432/.513 through 18 games on the month with six steals, eight RBI and 15 runs.

Arias went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

Arias struck out multiple times for the sixth time over his last seven games (14 Ks in 22 at-bats). He's always had a tendency to swing and miss -- his 31.2 strikeout percentage in 2025 marks his third consecutive season over 30 percent -- but the versatile infielder has taken it new extremes in June. Arias is batting .185 (10-for-54) with 25 strikeouts (43.1 percent) through 16 contests this month.

Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Friday that Mateo (elbow) has resumed baseball activities and is nearing a rehab assignment, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Mansolino didn't specify a target return date for Mateo, but a return to baseball activities is still a significant step forward for the 29-year-old, who has been out since early June with elbow inflammation.

Smith (hamstring) is batting leadoff and playing DH on Friday against Pittsburgh.

Smith was held out of the lineup for three consecutive games due to left hamstring soreness, but he's been cleared to DH on Friday. The Rangers could look to ease Smith back into work in the field. He logged a hit in seven straight games before sustaining the injury, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two homers during that stretch.
