Woods Richardson didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Houston, allowing one hit and one walk with four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Woods Richardson was called up June 10 to take Zebby Matthews' (shoulder) spot in the rotation and allowed seven runs (six earned) in his return to the big-league squad. He rebounded with a stellar outing Sunday, notching his first scoreless outing of 2025. Despite his success, the Twins pulled him after 53 pitches. He threw 98 pitches in his previous start. Woods Richardson is tentatively scheduled to face the Brewers next weekend, and he'll take a 5.13 ERA over 47.1 innings into the outing.

Hader didn't allow a hit or a walk with one strikeout over a scoreless 10th inning against the Twins on Sunday.

Hader logged his third win in four appearances, closing the door on the Twins after Houston scored runs in the ninth and 10th innings to land the 2-1 win. Despite the victory, Hader snapped a streak of eight consecutive innings with multiple strikeouts. After posting a sub-standard 3.80 ERA in 2024, Hader boasts a 1.45 ERA and a 48:7 K:BB over 31 innings in 2025.

Duran blew the save Sunday against the Astros, allowing one run on one hit and one walk with a strikeout over one inning.

Duran took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a 1-0 lead but surrendered a leadoff walk to Jeremy Pena, who came around to score on a game-tying sacrifice fly to give Duran the blown save. It was Duran's second blown save of the campaign, and he's allowed a run in three of his last five appearances. In 33 innings this season, Duran owns a 1.64 ERA.

Lee went 3-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Houston.

Lee provided all of the Twins' run production for a second consecutive game, clubbing a solo homer in the seventh inning off Brandon Walter on Sunday after belting a two-run shot Saturday. The 24-year-old has hit three home runs in his last seven games and has put together a 16-game hitting streak that has pushed his season-long batting average from .230 to .267. With the Twins placing Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday, Lee appears poised to serve as the team's primary option at third base for the foreseeable future.

Castro went 3-for-4 with a double during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Houston in 10 innings.

Castro extended his hit streak to eight games Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance during that stretch. The utility player has been on a tear lately, going 25-for-61 (.409) with five home runs, 12 runs scored and 10 RBI over his last 17 games. He owns a .290/.365/.483 slash line on the year.

Civale (1-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out four.

Civale made his first start in a White Sox uniform Sunday after being dealt to Chicago from Milwaukee on Friday. He had uncharacteristically poor control, walking four batters for the first time in 12 starts dating back to the 2024 campaign. The veteran right-hander could be a trade candidate once again as the deadline approaches, but in the meantime, he has a safe spot in the White Sox rotation. In 27 innings this season, Civale owns a 4.67 ERA and a 23:11 K:BB. He's on track to face the surging Blue Jays for his next start.

Jackson picked up the save Sunday against the White Sox, allowing no hits or walks with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Jackson received his first save chance since May 21 as closer Robert Garcia got the day off after throwing in back-to-back games. Jackson cashed in for his ninth save of the campaign, marking his first perfect appearance in five outings. The 33-year-old owns a 3.91 ERA and an 18:11 K:BB over 23 innings in 2025.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Rojas swiped his fourth bag of the season Sunday and notched his third multi-hit game in his last nine outings. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .184/.261/223 with no home runs and four doubles over 112 plate appearances.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Texas.

Vargas was the lone source of offense for the White Sox on Sunday, clubbing a solo homer in the sixth inning off of Jacob Webb. The round tripper extended Vargas' hit streak to five games. During that stretch, he's 7-for-20 with three doubles, a triple and five runs scored. He's now hit 10 home runs in a season for the first time in his four-year career.

Rocker (2-4) picked up the win Sunday against the White Sox, allowing four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

Rocker was visited on the mound three times in the fifth inning, twice by the training and coaching staff and once by a ball boy with pickle juice, in an attempt to stave off cramps, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. While he'd finish out the inning, Rocker didn't return for the sixth frame, ending his day after just 82 pitches. Still, it was a strong performance for the 25-year-old, who came into the contest with an 8.87 ERA over six starts. Sunday's outing marked Rocker's first career scoreless outing and served as a bounce-back after he yielded five runs in each of his previous two appearances. He's set to temporarily fill Tyler Mahle's (shoulder) spot in the rotation, and his next start is scheduled to come at Pittsburgh.
