Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Lewis struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he managed to get on the board in the eighth inning on a blast to left-center field. Lewis is now up to eight home runs on the season, three of which have come over his last six games, during which he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with one steal, five runs and seven RBI.

Abel (2-3) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two across three innings.

Abel was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul ahead Saturday's start, his first in a Twins' uniform since being traded by the Phillies in late July. Abel yielded nine runs in his last two starts with Philadelphia, and that trend continued with his new team as he gave up six runs in the second inning, highlighted by a Colson Montgomery grand slam. Abel now sits at a 6.43 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 28 major-league innings this season. With Pablo Lopez (shoulder), Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and David Festa (shoulder) still on the IL, Abel is slated to make at least a couple more turns in the Twins' rotation. Things won't get easier for Abel, as he's lined up to take on the Padres at home next weekend.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a steal, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Saturday's 7-3 win over Minnesota.

Robert supplied the White Sox an insurance run in the eighth inning on a solo blast to left-center field. He also recorded his 33rd steal in the third frame, which is sixth most in the majors this season. Robert is now on a six-game hitting streak and has an .857 OPS with 11 steals, five home runs and 18 RBI over 116 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Martin (5-9) came away with the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six across five innings.

Martin yielded at least two baserunners in two of the five frames he pitched, but he was able to limit the damage to two solo home runs from Kody Clemens and Matt Wallner in the second and fourth innings, respectively. Saturday marked just the fourth time Martin has recorded at least six strikeouts this season, and he has yielded three earned runs or less in five of six starts since the All-Star break. He now sits at a 3.93 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 80:35 K:BB across 112.1 innings this season. Martin will look for win number six in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Yankees.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a grand slam during Saturday's 7-3 win over the Twins.

Montgomery put the exclamation point on the White Sox's six-run second inning when he cleared the bases on a 412-foot blast to right-center field. Saturday marked Montgomery's eighth multi-hit game of the season, and he's hit home runs in consecutive games on six occasions this season, including two instances in which he's homered in three straight games. He now has a .229/.288/.528 slash line with 12 homers and 34 RBI across 156 plate appearances this season.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Torkelson put the Tigers ahead 2-1 with a 408-foot homer in the fourth inning and later added a single in the sixth. The 25-year-old has hit safely in seven of his past 10 games, though he's managed just three extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the season, he's slashing .244/.337/.479 with 27 homers, 69 RBI, 70 runs scored and two steals across 522 plate appearances.

Paddack (5-11) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.

Paddack kept the Royals in check despite landing just 37 of 62 pitches for strikes and generating just one whiff. It was a solid rebound after the 29-year-old surrendered eight runs Sunday, though he's managed only nine punchouts across four August outings. He'll take a 4.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:32 K:BB over 137.1 innings into a road rematch with Kansas City next weekend.

Witt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

Witt singled and scored in the fourth inning before adding a solo homer in the sixth. The shortstop has now hit safely in 12 straight games and in 18 of 20 in August overall, batting .351 with four homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and six steals this month. On the season, he's slashing .298/.354/.506 with 19 long balls, 71 RBI, 84 runs scored and 34 steals across 559 plate appearances.

Allen (7-10) took the loss against Texas on Saturday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across five innings.

Allen got through the first inning unscathed, but that was about the only positive thing to come out of Saturday's outing for the 26-year-old southpaw. The nine runs he yielded were the most of his major-league career, and the three homers he gave up were his most since June 25, 2024 against the Orioles. Saturday's game inflated Allen's numbers to a 4.35 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 128.1 innings this season. He'll look to turn things around in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Mariners.

Wacha (8-10) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Wacha gave up a run in each of the third, fourth and fifth innings but still turned in a quality start on a season-high 108 pitches. It was the first time the 34-year-old allowed more than two earned runs since July 5, and he's now pitched into the sixth frame in seven straight outings. He'll take a 3.39 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 108:38 K:BB across 148.2 innings into a home rematch with the Tigers next weekend.
