Zebby Matthews - Tagged for seven runs in loss Matthews (2-4) took the loss Thursday against the Tigers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

Impact It's the second time in three starts that Matthews has given up seven earned runs. The 26-year-old right-hander was hurt by the long ball Wednesday -- he gave up a season-high three homers in an eventual 11-0 loss to Detroit. Overall, Matthews' ERA sits at 5.20 with a 1.18 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB through his first six starts (36.1 innings) this year. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come on the road against the Rangers.

MLB 2026 Buzz: Tigers Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal Returning To Action

Walker Jenkins - Hitting again Jenkins (shoulder) recently resumed hitting against live pitching and could soon head out on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Impact One of the Twins' top prospects, Jenkins might have already made his MLB debut had multiple injuries over his first four seasons in the professional ranks not cost him development time. He's currently on the mend from a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, which forced him to Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list May 5. Now that he's reached a major milestone in the recovery process by facing live pitching in addition to taking part in defensive work, Jenkins appears to be closing in on a return to game action. The 21-year-old outfielder had slashed .256/.396/.389 with two home runs and five stolen bases across 111 plate appearances for St. Paul before hitting the shelf.

David Festa - Begins throwing progression The Twins announced June 1 that Festa has started a throwing progression, MLB.com reports.

Impact Festa is expected to gradually increase his throwing distance off flat ground before advancing to mound work, perhaps at some point in the third or fourth week of June. Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll previously said in mid-May that Festa wasn't expected to return from the 60-day injured list until after the All-Star break, and that timeline would still appear to be accurate. Once Festa completes a series of bullpen sessions, he'll then need to face live hitters before heading out on an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf all season after he was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement early in spring training.

Alan Roden - In midst of rehab assignment Roden (shoulder) has gone 4-for-9 with two doubles, four walks, one stolen base, one run and one RBI in three games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A For...

Impact Roden remains on Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list, but he looks to be closing in on a return to the Twins' top affiliate around the middle of June now that he's began taking part in game action in the lower levels of the minors. The 26-year-old outfielder produced an .889 OPS in 19 games with St. Paul before landing on the shelf April 24 due to a right shoulder labrum tear.

Mick Abel - Sharp in first rehab outing Abel (elbow) struck out five over three scoreless frames in his first rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Impact Abel permitted just two hits, didn't issue a walk and averaged 96.3 mph with his four-seamer, which is up 1.5 mph from his season average. The right-hander got his pitch count to 47, so he will need at least a couple more rehab outings before rejoining the Twins' rotation, but Wednesday's performance was an encouraging step for Abel.

Royce Lewis - First homer since called back up Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Tigers.

Impact Lewis hit the second-longest home run (444 feet) of his career in the second inning off of Framer Valdez to left center. The 27-year-old has hit 4-for-15 with a home run and a double since retiring to the big-leagues. The former top prospect slashed just .174/,267/.287 coming into this game after a rough start of the season, but played well in Triple-A to earn a spot back on the roster.

Byron Buxton - Hits game-clutching home run Buxton went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win versus the Tigers.

Impact Buxton's moon shot to center in the fifth to give Minnesota a 4-1 lead, which it would not relinquish. The Silver Slugger hit his 20th homer of the season, which makes him third person in Twins history to hit 20 homers through 69 games. The righty returned yesterday to center field after colliding with the wall on June 5 and has now homered in back-to-back games.

Yoendrys Gómez - Fifth save of season Gomez picked up the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk, but getting one strike out in one inning of work.

Impact The save-leader for the Twins secured another one through a shaky ninth where Gomez allowed a run off a Dillon Dingler single, but then struck out Riley Greene to end the game. Gomez has now converted all four of his save chances with Minnesota this season. The right-hander has now gave up only two earned runs with a 18:6 K:BB out of Minnesota's bullpen in 14 innings.

17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Mike Paredes - No decision in first start Paredes pitched for three innings, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with four strikeouts in the win Wednesday against the Tigers.

Impact Paredes stepped into a starting role for the Twins after two long relief outings to start his big-league career. The 25-year-old pitched well and kept Minnesota in the game for his best outing in the majors yet. The right-hander now has a 1.06 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB across 10.1 innings so far. Parades has not pitched more than five innings in Triple-A St. Paul or on the Twins yet this season, so expect him to work more as a long-reliever/opener in this cal-up to Minnesota.
