Hader struck out two batters in a perfect inning to earn a save against the Pirates on Tuesday.

Hader tossed 12 of 15 pitches for strikes as he cruised to his 16th save of the year. He's perfect in save chances this year and owns an active seven-inning scoreless streak. Hader dropped his ERA to 1.38 with a 39:6 K:BB through 26 frames this season. He's posted a 12:1 K:BB since he last allowed a run May 16.

Brieske did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing no hits and one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings against the White Sox. He struck out two.

The right-hander got the bullpen game off to a solid start, handing things over in the second inning to Brant Hurter, who ultimately took the loss. Brieske has been highly effective recently, recording a 1.17 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over 7.2 innings across his last seven outings. He's expected to resume his usual role in the bullpen moving forward.

Lopez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics due to right shoulder tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lopez took the mound in preparation to begin the sixth inning but motioned to come out of the game after throwing a few warmup pitches. It's unclear if his shoulder will force him to miss his next start, but the Twins should provide an update on his status in the near future. Before exiting, the 29-year-old had surrendered two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters across five innings.

Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, one walk and one stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Caminero put the game out of reach Tuesday with a solo homer in the eighth inning. Though not known for his speed, the third baseman also swiped his fourth base of the season. The former top prospect has showcased plenty of pop, slugging .516 with 14 home runs. While a low walk rate has limited his on-base percentage to .294, an .810 OPS at age 21 is incredibly impressive.

Misner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Misner got the scoring started Tuesday with a wall-scraper solo homer in the second inning. After a strong April, the 27-year-old has struggled significantly of late. Over his past 30 games, the outfielder is slashing just .151/.232/.233 with only three extra-base hits. Misner's defensive versatility is a plus, but he'll have to improve offensively to receive consistent playing time.

Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.

It was a strong bounce-back effort by Witt, who had gone just 6-for-36 over his previous nine games. Tuesday also marked his first multi-hit outing since May 21, and the All-Star shortstop is now slashing .287/.346/.494 with seven home runs, 22 doubles, 35 RBI and 20 stolen bases over 266 plate appearances in 2025. Witt trails only Luis Robert in steals in the American League so far.

Estevez recorded the save in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals after allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

Estevez's control was a bit shaky -- just 10 of his 18 pitches were strikes -- but that didn't stop him from turning in his ninth consecutive scoreless outing. The hard-throwing right-hander hasn't blown a save since April 22, and he holds a sparkling 0.59 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB with 12 saves across his last 15.1 innings. With 17 saves for the year, Estevez is tied with Andres Munoz for the American League lead in that category.

Rasmussen (5-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and no walks over five scoreless innings against Texas. He struck out eight.

Rasmussen has been nearly untouchable lately, and that dominance carried into Tuesday's win. The right-hander has fired 23 consecutive scoreless innings, last allowing a run May 11. In his previous three scoreless outings, the 29-year-old averaged just 4.3 strikeouts, but he showed encouraging swing-and-miss stuff Tuesday by fanning eight Rangers. After injuries disrupted his 2023 and 2024 campaigns, Rasmussen has settled into the rotation and is thriving in 2025.

Mahle (5-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out five.

Mahle struggled late in his worst outing of the season Tuesday and didn't get the run support needed to avoid his third loss. Despite the off night, the 30-year-old has been excellent in 2025, posting a 2.02 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 71.1 innings. It's been a strong rebound campaign after arm injuries limited him to just 12.2 innings in 2024.

Lorenzen didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals after giving up seven runs on seven hits and one walk in 2.2 innings. He struck out two.

After getting knocked around for six runs on a career-worst 11 hits his last time out, Lorenzen coughed up a season-worst seven runs in his shortest outing of the year Tuesday. Four of his seven hits allowed went for extra bases, and the veteran right-hander matched his season low in punchouts. Despite having four quality starts to his name among 12 appearances in 2025, Lorenzen owns a poor 5.12 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 65 innings. His next start is set to come against the lowly White Sox, which at least offers him a prime opportunity to rebound.
