Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Arozarena entered the game in an 0-for-11 slump at the plate. He broke it early, going deep in the first inning for his first homer since May 18. Over the 10 games between long balls, he struggled, batting .128 (5-for-39) with 17 strikeouts. The outfielder is now at a .224/.353/.398 slash line with seven homers, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 54 contests. His 29.4 percent strikeout rate is the worst of his career, and that will continue to limit his potential until he can start making more consistent contact.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Raleigh became the first catcher to reach the 20-homer mark before the end of May in major-league history when he swatted a three-run blast in the first inning. He added a two-run homer in the eighth to get to 21 on the year, two ahead of Aaron Judge for the American League lead. Raleigh has hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, going 14-for-38 (.368) with six homers and 10 RBI in that span. He's at a .265/.381/.623 slash line with 42 RBI, 37 runs scored, six stolen bases and 10 doubles through 56 games this year.

Munoz allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

Munoz fell apart in the ninth inning, allowing a two-run home run to Willi Castro and the game-tying RBI single to Trevor Larnach. The earned runs were the first of the year for Munoz. The 26-year-old is still at a sterling 1.09 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB while converting 17 of 20 save chances over 24.2 innings.

Woo allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.

The 12-6 extra-inning loss was a product of a bullpen meltdown. Woo wasn't at his best Friday, allowing multiple home runs for the first time in his 11 starts this season, but he left with a lead in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old right-hander is now at a 2.82 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 63:9 K:BB across 70.1 innings. Woo's spot in the rotation is secure, so he won't be threatened by the return of Bryce Miller (elbow), who will start Saturday. Woo's next start is projected to be at home versus the Orioles.

Trout went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in a 4-1 win against Cleveland on Friday.

Though Trout had a quiet performance in the victory, the big news is that he got through the game without issues after missing over four weeks due to a knee injury. The star slugger got a chance to run the bases after singling in his second at-bat, though he didn't play the field, instead logging the start as the team's DH. Trout may remain in that role for the short term since he didn't embark upon a rehab assignment prior to his return.

Buxton went 2-for-6 with two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Buxton returned from a stint on the 7-day concussion injured list, and he was able to put together a multi-hit effort for the first time since May 9 versus the Giants. The outfielder had gone 2-for-17 with nine strikeouts prior to his absence. Overall, he's had a productive start to 2025, batting .264 with an .828 OPS, 10 home runs, nine steals, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, five doubles and three triples across 42 contests. He should resume his role as the Twins' primary center fielder.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Correa gave the Twins their first lead when he took Casey Legumina deep on the first pitch of the 10th inning. Over seven games since his return from a concussion, Correa is 8-for-24 (.333) with three homers and five RBI. The shortstop is up to five long balls this season while slashing .250/.290/.390 with 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 48 contests.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Rays.

Diaz took Garrett Cleavinger deep in the ninth inning to provide Houston with a walk-off win. It was Diaz's seventh home run of the season, and his second in as many days. After a slow start to the year, he's hit .295 with five home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored across 25 games in May.

Larnach went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Larnach's four hits matched his total from his previous seven games (4-for-22). The designated hitter delivered a solo shot in the fourth inning to spark the Twins' comeback, and he also delivered the tying run in the ninth with an RBI single. He plated two more runs with a double in the 10th for good measure. This big performance has him up to eight homers, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, two stolen bases, eight doubles and a .255/.323/.422 slash line over 55 contests this season.

Castro went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

It was a rare display of power for Castro, who played a key role in the Twins' comeback effort. He hit a solo shot in the seventh inning and a two-run blast in the ninth, the latter of which pulled Minnesota within a run. The light-hitting utility player doubled his homer total to four with this big game, which was also his first multi-hit effort since May 15 versus the Orioles. Castro has a .238/.321/.402 slash line, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles across 36 contests.
