Carlos Santana - Homers, drives in three Santana went 3-for-4 Sunday with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored against the Reds.
Impact Santana homered and doubled to finish just a triple shy of the cycle. The 15-year-vet's two-run blast in the seventh doubled the Twins' lead and served as the springboard to a five-run inning that sealed the game. Santana is now batting 8-for-18 (.444) with two homers, a double, six RBI and six runs scored during a modest five-game hitting streak.

David Festa - Can't escape fourth inning Festa did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out four.
Impact Festa held the Reds to just a walk and a hit-by-pitch through three innings but ran into trouble in the fourth, allowing three consecutive hits that led to two runs to start the inning, then loaded the bases with a couple of walks that led to him being pulled prior to the end of the inning. It was the second-consecutive start Festa walked three while failing to make it into the fifth inning. Through 55 innings spanning 12 appearances (11 starts), Festa holds a 5.07 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with an impressive 66 strikeouts. His next turn is set to take place when the Twins travel to Boston to take on the Red Sox.

Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton both out of Sunday's series finale vs. the Reds The Twins will be without their two stars as they look to avoid a sweep on Sunday.

Jose Miranda - Sits for third time in four games Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds,
Impact On the bench for the third time in four games against a right-hander, Miranda looks as though he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role after the Twins recently welcomed back Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa back from the injured list. Miranda should still have a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed pitching.

Carlos Correa - On bench Sunday Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early-afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Byron Buxton - Receiving Sunday off Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact The 30-year-old started the past two games after missing the past month due to a hip injury, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-6 with a solo homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored. Willi Castro is starting in center field Sunday with Buxton on the bench.

Edouard Julien - Absent from lineup Julien is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Julien has gone 0-for-7 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series, and he'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout. Kyle Farmer will start at second base and bat eighth against Cincinnati right-hander Rhett Lowder.

Justin Topa - Throwing bullpen sessions Topa (knee/elbow) threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports. It was his third bullpen session this week.
Impact Topa hopes to face live hitters in a few days and then try to pitch in a rehab game with Triple-A St. Paul in late September. Topa still hopes to pitch in the majors this season, but he still has several more steps to go. Topa has resided on the injured list all season, first while recovering from a torn patellar tendon in his left knee before being pulled off a rehab assignment in August due to right elbow inflammation.
