DaShawn Keirsey - Optioned to St. Paul The Twins optioned Keirsey to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
Impact With Carlos Correa (heel) returning from the injured list, Keirsey will be squeezed back to the minors in order to clear space on Minnesota's active roster. The 27-year-old outfielder went 1-for-10 during his time in the big leagues and only figures to return this season if the Twins' outfield depth is tested during the final few weeks.

Carlos Correa - Officially activated The Twins reinstated Correa (heel) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Plantar fasciitis in Correa's right foot has kept him out of action since the All-Star break, but he began making significant progress in his recovery after beginning a new treatment earlier this month and has now been cleared to return to the active roster. The 29-year-old infielder didn't appear in any rehab games before being reinstated, so there's a chance he shows a bit of rust during his first several games back, but he still figures to remain productive after slashing .308/.377/.520 through 316 plate appearances prior to his injury. DaShawn Keirsey was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Byron Buxton - Goes yard in return to lineup Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.
Impact Seeing his first action for the Twins since Aug. 12 after recovering from a hip injury, Buxton launched a Julian Aguilar changeup over the fence in left-center field in the fifth inning. Per Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli acknowledged after the game that Buxton isn't quite 100 percent and probably wouldn't be able to play every day to close out the regular season, but with the team fighting to hang onto the final wild-card spot in the AL, the Twins will take whatever contribution they can get from him. Through 91 games this season, the 30-year-old is slashing .275/.333/.534 with 17 homers, six steals, 50 RBI and 56 runs.

Bailey Ober - Fades late in Friday's loss Ober (12-7) took the loss Friday as the Twins fell 8-4 to the Reds, coughing up five runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.
Impact The righty pitched well through six innings as the two teams battled to a 1-1 stalemate, but the wheels came off for Ober in the seventh as the first four Cincinnati batters reached base, starting with a Spencer Steer leadoff triple. Ober has gone six straight starts without recording a win, stumbling to a 5.35 ERA over that stretch despite a 1.07 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB through 33.2 innings. He'll try to reverse his fortunes in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Cleveland.

Carlos Correa - Set to return Saturday Correa (plantar fasciitis) will be activated from the injured list before Saturday's game, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Correa has been taking live batting practice against minor league pitchers and working in the field the past few days. He's been sidelined since the All-Star break due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He'll likely return to starting at shortstop and may be rusty at the plate from his extended time off. However, it's a good sign for the Twins who could use a healthy Correa to ensure they make the playoffs and for the postseason.
