Bell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 loss to the Royals.

Bell has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with four walks and seven strikeouts over his first five games this season. All three of his hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, one homer). The 33-year-old is getting steady playing time as the Twins' designated hitter, but he's batted no higher than fifth in the order after being viewed as a potential cleanup hitter late in spring training.

Ryan (0-1) allowed five runs on nine hits and struck out three without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Royals.

Ryan didn't give up a ton of hard contact, but the Royals strung together a three-run tally in the second inning and added an additional run in the third and fourth frames. The right-hander exited at 77 pitches (49 strikes) in a disappointing follow-up to his 5.1 scoreless innings versus the Orioles on Opening Day. Ryan's keeping the walks down with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.1 innings so far, but he will need to avoid putting traffic on the bases, which can bite him if an opponent can generate some power against the flyball pitcher. Ryan is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Tigers early next week, which could be the first outing of a two-start week for the Twins' ace.

Caglianone went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Caglianone has logged multiple hits in two of five games so far. The outfielder has added two doubles, one walk and four strikeouts over 15 plate appearances so far. The 23-year-old struggled to a .157/.237/.295 slash line with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base over 62 contests in 2025 in his first taste of major-league action. He has some work to do to prove he's taken a step up from last year, but aside from the strikeout problem, he's on the right track for improvement. Caglianone is filling a strong-side platoon role in right field.

Witt went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Witt is off to a steady start to 2026, batting .278 (5-for-18) with two RBI, two steals and one run scored. He's still looking for his first extra-base hit, but he did get the ball up by driving in a run with a sacrifice fly Wednesday. Witt's 23-homer showing last year was his worst in three years, but he still had an .852 OPS. Fantasy managers can afford to be patient with Witt until he starts hitting for more power, especially if he continues to be an elite contributor with his speed.

Isbel went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Isbel has homered in his last two games, and he's hit safely in all four of his contests so far. He's batting .571 (8-for-14) with two homers, four RBI, four runs scored and three stolen bases. Isbel hit .255 with a .654 OPS over 135 regular-season games in 2025, so there's unlikely to be much power in his bat, but he should be able to top his four homers from last year. Isbel's defense should keep him in a starting role in center field once the hitting drops off.

India went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

India went 1-for-10 over his first three games of the season. He delivered the biggest hit in this contest with a sixth-inning slam to put the Royals ahead 12-1, runs that ended up being valuable after the Twins made a late surge. India had just nine homers over 136 regular-season games in 2025, and his .669 OPS last year was a career low. He's still hitting just .200 (3-for-15) with four strikeouts over four contests this season, but India is seeing a starting role at second base over utility man Nick Loftin while Michael Massey (calf) is on the mend.

Erceg retired both batters he faced to earn the save in Wednesday's 13-9 win over the Twins.

Bailey Falter took the mound for the ninth inning when the Royals were ahead by seven runs, but he made a mess of the low-leverage spot. Erceg came in with two on and one out and worked out of trouble for his second save of the season. The right-hander is a must-have in fantasy after Carlos Estevez (foot) landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Working primarily as a setup man in 2025, Erceg pitched to a 2.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB while adding two saves and 23 holds over 61.1 innings. He's shown better strikeout stuff than that in previous years, and if he pitches well in Estevez's absence, Erceg could keep the closer role for most of the season. He already has two saves and a hold over three appearances.

Cameron (1-0) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Twins on Wednesday.

Cameron's season debut was a positive one, as he was able to limit the damage to a Brooks Lee RBI single in the fifth inning. Cameron made a strong first impression in 2025, starting 24 regular-season games and pitching to a 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 114:43 K:BB over 138.1 innings. Walks and long balls will be something to keep an eye on in his second big-league campaign, as he gave up 18 homers last season and plenty more loud contact that didn't get over the fence. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Cleveland, which could be the first outing of a two-start week for Cameron.

Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

Schneemann has gone just 4-for-18 (.222) over six games this season, but three of his hits have been doubles. He made an impact with his legs after getting aboard, stealing third base and scoring after Will Smith's throw to third was errant. The steal was Schneemann's first of the year -- he had nine over 422 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season. Schneemann has made three starts in center field and one each at second and third so far, so he is likely to play regularly in a utility role. His playing time will probably come in the outfield while the Guardians deal with the absence of Chase DeLauter (foot).

Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

Arias has had a slow start to the season, but he was able to take Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the third inning for his first extra-base hit of the year. Arias has racked up nine strikeouts and just one walk over 20 plate appearances so far, which contributes to him hitting a meager .105 (2-for-19). Despite the struggles, he's holding down a regular role at shortstop for now, but he will need to do better with the bat to maintain his playing time.
