Bell went 3-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 8-0 win over the Angels.

Bell logged an RBI single in each of the third and fifth innings as part of a three-hit effort. The veteran is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak and is hitting .297/.361/.453 with three homers, eight RBI and eight runs in 17 September contests. Overall, Bell is slashing .258/.320/.421 with 20 homers, 91 RBI, 76 runs and two stolen bases across 149 games.

Lee went 3-for-4 with three runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Angels.

Lee logged three singles, marking his eighth contest of the season with three-plus hits. Through 18 games in September, the infielder is hitting .290/.320/.377 with a homer, five RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base. On the year, Lee is slashing .253/.301/.430 with 23 homers, 81 RBI, 71 runs and eight stolen bases in 150 contests.

Roden went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 8-0 win over the Angels.

Roden collected a trio of hits, including a three-run blast to extend the Twins' lead to 8-0 in the seventh inning. Sunday marked the outfielder's first big-league action since Aug. 26 after being recalled Friday with Trevor Larnach (wrist) landing on the injured list. In 84 plate appearances, Roden is hitting .278/.349/.375 with a homer, 14 RBI and seven runs.

Ober picked up the save Sunday against the Angels. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out three over three scoreless innings.

Making the first relief appearance of his career, Ober spun three shutout innings to pick up the save. Over his past seven appearances, the right-hander has posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 33 innings. Overall, the 31-year-old owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 91:36 K:BB in 126 innings (24 outings). It remains to be seen if Ober will return to the rotation or remain in a bullpen role to close the season.

Johnson (5-9) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits, no walks and a hit-by-pitch over 4.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out six.

Johnson's stellar run of late hit a speed bump Sunday, as he was unable to complete five frames in the loss. The young right-hander has posted a 2.48 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB over 40 innings in his past seven starts. Johnson owns a 4.93 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB in 95 innings (21 appearances) and is lined up to make his final start of the season Saturday against the Mariners.

Kremer (4-5) earned the win Sunday, allowing a hit, three walks and a hit-by-pitch over six scoreless innings against the Angels. He struck out eight.

Kremer was excellent, with the only hit he allowed being a single in the fourth inning. Since joining the Twins at the trade deadline, the right-hander has compiled a 3-1 record with a 3.80 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 47.1 innings (nine starts). With an overall 4.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 82:29 K:BB across 83.1 innings (16 starts), Kremer is lined up to make his final start of the season Saturday against the Rangers.

Valencia, who went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox, is batting .406 through nine games this month.

Valencia had half of Detroit's six hits as a team Sunday, and his lack of counting stats can be attributed to a struggling lineup around him. Nonetheless, the rookie has been raking with three multi-hit performances over his last five games, and he's now batting a robust .339 overall with a .974 OPS across 109 at-bats this season. It's still a relatively small sample, but Valencia is certainly making a strong case for an expanded role heading into 2027.

Goodman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.

Goodman supplied the lone run for the Rockies, launching a solo homer in the ninth inning. The slugger has mostly slumped in September, slashing .167/.233/.407 with three homers, nine RBI and seven runs in 14 games. On the year, the 26-year-old is hitting .245/.312/.528 with 39 homers, 82 RBI, 81 runs and five stolen bases across 132 contests.

Bazardo picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

With Andres Munoz (knee) forced to exit early, Bazardo stepped in and recorded the final two outs to secure the victory for the Mariners. It marked the right-hander's first career save across six big-league seasons. In 2026, Bazardo owns a 3.94 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB with 26 holds over 64 innings.

Sugano (12-11) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on a hit and two walks over five innings against the Mariners. He struck out five.

Sugano was more than serviceable across five frames, especially at home at Coors Field, but a lack of offense from the Rockies saddled the right-hander with the loss. He has now lost six of his past seven starts, with his last win coming Aug. 11. With a 5.36 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 91:36 K:BB in 147.2 innings (28 starts), Sugano is tentatively scheduled to make his final start of the season Saturday against the White Sox.
