Paddack did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Paddack was given an early 1-0 lead but allowed three runs across the second and third innings. The 29-year-old has now completed exactly five frames in five straight starts, yielding a combined eight earned runs during that stretch. He'll bring a 5.57 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 32.1 innings into a scheduled home matchup with the Giants next weekend, though his overall line remains inflated by a nine-run blowup in his season debut.

Lewis (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lewis went 4-for-23 with no walks and six strikeouts in six rehab games with Triple-A St. Paul. He played the last three of those contests at third base and looks like he'll be ready to handle a full nine-inning game defensively, though the Twins could also occasionally use Lewis at designated hitter while easing him back into the mix after he suffered a moderate left hamstring strain late in spring training. Lewis is poised to make his season debut in Tuesday's series opener versus the Orioles.

Crochet did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Crochet rebounded from a leadoff home run to fire four straight scoreless frames, departing with a 3-1 lead that the bullpen couldn't hold. The southpaw has now completed at least five frames in each of his eight starts this season, yielding two earned runs or fewer in seven of them. He boasts a 2.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB across 49 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Royals next weekend.

Castro (oblique) isn't likely to need a minor-league rehab assignment and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

If he's fully healthy the utility player should immediately reclaim a regular starting role with the Twins struggling to find production at multiple lineup spots. Castro originally suffered the right oblique strain April 16, but he's since resumed baseball activities and has been taking batting practice without issue.

Abreu went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Abreu entered Sunday amid an 0-for-12 skid but broke out with three hits, including a 420-foot solo homer that pulled the Red Sox within one in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old continues to sit against lefties but is slashing a strong .279/.394/.523 with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored and four steals across 132 plate appearances this season.

Aranda went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Yankees.

Aranda crushed a 409-foot solo shot in the third inning and later chipped in a two-run single in the seventh. While his platoon role caps his overall upside, the 26-year-old has torched righties this season, slashing a remarkable .350/.430/.650 with five homers and 17 RBI over 93 plate appearances.

Warren (1-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Warren was undone by a three-run fourth inning that included four singles and a walk. He also notched a season-high eight punchouts despite generating only seven whiffs on 102 pitches. The 25-year-old owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB across 28.2 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Bradley (3-2) earned the win against the Yankees on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.

Bradley threw just 50 of 88 pitches for strikes with only four whiffs but still managed to limit one of baseball's top lineups to two runs. The 24-year-old has logged at least five frames in all seven starts this season, yielding three earned runs or fewer in five of them. He'll carry a 4.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB across 40.2 innings into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Fairbanks earned the save in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Yankees, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

Fairbanks was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth and struck out the top of the Yankees' order on 15 pitches. The 31-year-old has now converted save chances on back-to-back days for the second time this season and has been scored upon only once in his past 10 outings. He's a perfect 8-for-8 in save opportunities while posting a 2.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 13.1 innings this season.

Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 11-6 win over the Orioles.

Pasquantino fell a triple short of the cycle Sunday, highlighted by a solo homer in the seventh inning. The first baseman has been heating up over his past 10 games, slugging four home runs with eight RBI and seven runs scored. While his overall slash line remains underwhelming at .197/.252/.386 across 143 plate appearances, he's provided some pop with six long balls and 22 RBI on the year.
