Go was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Go was knocked around for three runs on four hits while picking up a pair of strikeouts over one inning during Monday's 13-4 loss to the Guardians. The Twins will likely call up a fresh arm to follow Kendry Rojas, who is slated to serve as the opener for Tuesday's matchup.

Bailey went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Monday's 13-4 win over Minnesota.

Bailey contributed to the Guardians' blowout win with an RBI single in the fifth before belting a solo homer in the seventh. His four hits were a season high and tied a career best he set three times prior to Monday's contest. Bailey has gone 11-for-33 with two home runs, five RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games.

Suarez (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles in Boston, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Suarez will make his return to the bump after suffering a left groin strain in a July 5 start against the Angels. He'll aim to propel the Red Sox to a 15th consecutive victory following the team's come-from-behind 6-5 win Monday in the series opener. Suarez owns a 2.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 40 strikeouts in 32.2 innings over his previous six starts.

Rojas will serve as the Twins' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Rojas most recently worked one inning out of the bullpen Saturday against the Cubs, and he'll most likely be limited to between one and three frames Tuesday before giving way to a bulk reliever. The Twins cleared a spot on the big-league roster after Monday's game by optioning Woo-suk Go to Triple-A St. Paul, meaning the club will likely call up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's contest.

Hoskins went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs during the Guardians' 13-4 win over the Twins on Monday.

The Guardians tied a franchise record with seven home runs during Monday's blowout win, and Hoskins was responsible for two of the six long balls off Twins ace Joe Ryan. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for Hoskins and 14th of his major-league career, the last taking place May 31, 2025 against the Phillies as a member of the Brewers. It's been a down season for the veteran first baseman, though he's gone 5-for-22 with four solo home runs over his last six games.

Halpin went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored during Monday's 13-4 win over Minnesota.

It took 40 major-league games, but Halpin finally went yard for the first time in his career Monday. In fact, he was responsible for two of the Guardians' six homers off right-hander Joe Ryan in a blowout win. Halpin has seen a steady amount of reps in the outfield since rejoining the big club prior to the All-Star break, but he could be sent back down to Triple-A Columbus once Angel Martinez (foot) is reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Bibee (4-9) earned the win against the Twins on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings.

Bibee received plenty of run support from his Guardians teammates, but he held his end of the bargain by limiting the Twins to just two runs in the second inning. He's posted quality starts in back-to-back outings and 12 times this season, which is tied for third-most in the American League behind Sonny Gray and Michael Wacha (13 each). Bibee will take a 3.86 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 119 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Rays.

Teel left Monday's game against Texas due to a left ankle injury.

It's unclear at this time whether Teel will require a stint on the injured list, though the team stated that he'll be sent for further evaluation. Drew Romo would be the favorite to start at catcher Tuesday if Teel can't go.

Buxton went 2-for-3 in Monday's 13-4 loss to the Guardians.

Buxton was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game after recovering from a right hip injury, and he got to work immediately by getting on base in each of his first two plate appearances. The veteran center fielder is looking to build off a strong first half of the season, when he posted a .903 OPS with seven steals, 25 home runs and 45 RBI across 335 plate appearances.

Ryan (6-6) took the loss against the Guardians on Monday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits while striking out three across four innings. He did not issue a walk.

It wasn't the outing Ryan was hoping for coming out of the All-Star break. Six of the 10 hits he allowed went yard, setting both a career and franchise high, and he also set career highs in hits and runs allowed. Ryan's poor performance Monday rose his ERA from 2.85 to 3.38, and he'll look to bounce back this weekend at home against the Athletics.
