Daniel Lynch - No-decision in spot startLynch allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and struck out two without walking a batter in a no-decision Thursday versus the Twins.

ImpactLynch got the nod for a spot start when Brady Singer (illness) was deemed unavailable to pitch Thursday. The three runs on Lynch's line came on a pair of home runs by Ryan Jeffers, though the Kansas City southpaw still left the game with a lead before Chris Stratton squandered it in the sixth inning. Lynch has a 1.50 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 12 innings across three outings (two starts) at the major-league level. Assuming Singer can rejoin the rotation for his next start, Lynch may either be moved to the bullpen or sent back to Triple-A Omaha for a fresher arm.

Chris Paddack - Shaky vs. RoyalsPaddack did not factor into the decision Thursday against Kansas City, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

ImpactPaddack got off to a rocky start, allowing a two-run homer to Vinnie Pasquantino in the first inning before allowing two more runs in the third and fourth. However, the Twins would rally back from a 4-0 hole to spare him the loss in an eventual 7-6 victory. Paddack had been sharp coming into Thursday's outing, allowing just four runs over 13 innings across his previous two starts. Overall, he's 4-2 on the season with a 4.57 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 54:12 K:BB across 61 innings. Paddack's currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Yankees in his next start.

Jhoan Duran - Hangs on for ninth saveDuran picked up the save Thursday against the Royals, allowing two unearned runs on a hit and a walk in the ninth inning.

ImpactProtecting a three-run lead in the ninth inning, Duran would allow a pair of runs on Bobby Witt's two-out single following a walk and a Carlos Santana error. However, Duran would coax a game-ending groundout from Vinnie Pasquantino, earning his ninth save in as many chances to open the year. While he's been a bit shaky of late, Duran's now gone five appearances (4.1 innings) without allowing an earned run. His ERA is down to 3.21 with a 1.21 WHIP despite him averaging just 8.36 K/9, down from his career mark of 11.63.
