Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

Robert has hit safely in each of his last seven games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with two homers, three stolen bases and five RBI in that span. The outfielder has provided consistency at the plate for nearly a month now, his first largely successful stretch of the season. He's at a .219/.301/.362 slash line with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 44 runs scored and 29 steals across 92 contests.

Martin (3-9) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five-plus innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Martin yielded two homers and ran into more trouble during the sixth by allowing the first three batters of the inning to reach base. Tyler Gilbert couldn't clean up the mess, and Martin ended up back in the loss column after winning against the Phillies in his previous start. For the season, Martin has a passable 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB through 96.1 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts). He's projected for a home start versus the Guardians this weekend.

Canzone went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

The homer was Canzone's first since July 3 against the Royals. He hadn't logged an extra-base hit over his previous 11 games, though he went 7-for-30 (.233) with two RBI and a stolen base in that span. The outfielder is still holding down a starting role in right field despite the recent lack of power. On the year, he's batting .296 with an .851 OPS, seven homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases over 154 plate appearances.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

This was Suarez's first homer (and second hit) over four games since he returned to Seattle. He's been slumping a bit, batting just .143 (7-for-49) over his last 13 games dating back to July 21 when he was still with Arizona, though four of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. He's also racked up 19 strikeouts during the slump. The third baseman is at a .243/.314/.565 slash line with 37 homers, 89 RBI, 68 runs scored and two steals through 111 contests this season.

Naylor went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, two stolen bases and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

Naylor continues to be efficient on the basepaths -- he's up to eight steals in 11 games with the Mariners. His homer Tuesday was his second in that span, and he's now 10-for-41 (.244) with his new team. Overall, the first baseman is at a .287/.355/.444 slash line, 13 homers, 19 steals, 63 RBI and 56 runs scored through 104 contests between Seattle and Arizona. He's typically displayed good contact skills, so he should hit more consistently as he continues to settle in.

Woo (9-6) allowed one run on two hits and struck out nine without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the White Sox.

While one of the two hits he allowed left the yard -- a solo shot from Lenyn Sosa in the first inning -- Woo was otherwise excellent to bounce back from giving up five runs in his last start. His nine strikeouts Tuesday also matched his season high, while it was the first time since May 24 versus the Astros that he was able to avoid issuing a walk. Woo is now at a 3.02 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 136:25 K:BB through 140 innings over 22 starts this season. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Buxton (ribcage) isn't on track to return from the 10-day injured list during the Twins' series in Detroit that ends Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Buxton was diagnosed with left ribcage inflammation after colliding with an outfield wall July 26 and was later placed on the IL. Though Buxton is said to be making progress, the Twins haven't offered up a clear timeline for his return from the IL. Austin Martin will likely continue to see the bulk of the starts in center field while Buxton is on the shelf.

Clemens went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

Clemens knocked an RBI double and scored a run during the Twins' three-run first inning. He later doubled again in the third and knocked a single in the eighth. Clemens was 7-for-35 (.200) with one extra-base hit over his past 10 games before Tuesday's three-hit performance. He's now slashing .232/.306/.490 with 24 extra-base hits and 33 RBI through 223 plate appearances.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win against the Tigers.

In his first MLB at-bat since April 25, Keaschall ripped a two-run shot for his first career home run. He later knocked an RBI single in the fifth inning. Keaschall fractured his forearm in April but picked up right where he left off before the injury. He's produced a 1.185 OPS with five RBI and five stolen bases through 30 plate appearances.

Topa struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save against Detroit on Tuesday.

Topa threw 12 of his 15 pitches for strikes and quickly retired the Tigers' 8-9-1 batters to preserve the 6-3 win. He joined Erasmo Ramirez as the two bullpen arms to record saves for the Twins since the team traded Jhoan Duran at the deadline. Topa owns a 3.86 ERA and a 41:12 K:BB through 46.2 saves this season. It was his first save with Minnesota, and he entered Tuesday's contest with three in his career, all of which came during his final season with Seattle in 2023. Cole Sands allowed two runs in the eighth inning Tuesday, and it appears the Twins are still working out how the bullpen arms will be utilized moving forward.
