The Twins optioned Klein to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up Saturday and will return to St. Paul after firing two scoreless frames against Pittsburgh. Across two stints in the majors this year, Klein has given up two earned runs with 2:4 K:BB in three appearances (4.1 innings).

Peraza went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base Saturday in a 14-3 win against Tampa Bay.

Peraza got in on a big offensive day by the Angels by clubbing a solo shot in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has reached base safely in nine of his past 10 contests and is slashing .333/.400/.528 with two homers, four RBI, four runs and one stolen base over that stretch. Peraza isn't setting the world on fire, but he's earned a near-everyday role and is in the midst of a career-best campaign, posting a .277/.341/.465 slash line with seven long balls, 15 RBI, 17 runs and six stolen bases through 53 games.

Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

With the Twins wrapping up their series in Pittsburgh with a day game, Buxton is likely just getting a planned maintenance day after he recently missed time due to a sore right hip flexor. Since returning to the lineup May 19, Buxton has made all but one of his 10 starts at designated hitter and has gone 10-for-39 (.256 average) with two home runs, three doubles, four RBI and seven runs. The Twins haven't indicated when Buxton might be ready to play center field on a full-time basis, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable with keeping him active while he's still seeing regular at-bats at DH.

Adell went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 14-3 victory versus the Rays.

Adell made the most of his lone hit, clobbering a 431-foot, three-run homer to center field in the ninth inning. The veteran outfielder has been all-or-nothing at the plate of late -- over his past 10 games, he's batting just 7-for-40 with 11 strikeouts and no walks but has three homers and two doubles. Adell hit a career-high 37 long balls last season but is well off that pace in 2026 with nine homers through 59 contests.

Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Outman made seven consecutive starts in the outfield from May 14 through May 20 while Byron Buxton dealt with a sore hip flexor, but his playing time has fallen by the wayside since. Buxton has been limited primarily to designated hitter over the last two weeks, but the Twins have been leaning on Kody Clemens and Ryan Kreidler in center field. Outman will remain on the bench Sunday for the eighth time in 10 games.

Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

He'll receive a breather after he started behind the plate each of the last three days while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two RBI. Alex Jackson will replace Caratini as the Twins' starting catcher in the series finale.

Trout went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs scored in a 14-3 rout of the Rays on Saturday.

The future Hall of Famer notched the Angels' first hit with a single in the first inning and eventually came around to score on a Wade Meckler grand slam. Trout added a homer of his own in the fifth, crushing a solo shot to left field. He's reached base safely in 11 straight games, posting a 1.101 OPS with three homers, eight RBI and a whopping 15 walks over that stretch. On the season, Trout leads MLB with 56 walks while adding 14 homers, 31 RBI, five stolen bases and a .241/.412/.498 slash line.

The Twins placed Ober on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

The right-hander had been on a roll, going 4-2 with a 3.19 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB over his last seven starts and 42.1 innings heading into Saturday. That impressive run came to a screeching halt when Ober was lit up for eight runs (seven earned) on 12 hits -- including three home runs -- and one walk over 4.2 innings in a loss to Pittsburgh. The elbow issue may have been a factor, and Ober will be shelved through at least mid-June. Minnesota called up right-hander Mike Paredes from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move, and if he isn't needed in relief over the next few days, he could be a candidate to replace Ober in the rotation.

Collins went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Rangers.

Collins was one of three Royals to tally multiple hits, most notably leading off the club's four-run seventh inning with a ground-rule double. While he didn't drive in a run, it was a much-needed and encouraging performance for the left fielder, who entered the contest just 6-for-47 (.128) across his previous 15 games. Overall, Collins is hitting .221 with a .662 OPS, three homers, 16 RBI, 20 runs and three stolen bases across 50 games in his first season with Kansas City.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

After making consecutive starts behind the plate to begin the week, Bailey will now hit the bench for the third time in four contests. Austin Hedges will get the nod at catcher over Bailey once again Sunday. Since he was acquired from the Giants on May 9, Bailey has slashed .148/.200/.333 with a home run and four RBI in 10 games.
