Nick Gordon - Doubles twice in three-hit effort Gordon went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
Impact Four of Gordon's last six hits have gone for extra bases (two home runs, two doubles). The 26-year-old is hitting .303 (20-for-66) in September with three homers, five doubles, 11 RBI and five runs scored, though he's gone quiet on the basepaths after logging three steals in August. For the season, he's slashing .283/.329/.453 with nine homers, 43 RBI, 40 runs scored, 26 doubles and six steals in 126 contests.

Carlos Correa - Three hits, two RBI in loss Correa went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
Impact Correa drove in a pair of runs with a second-inning single. That hit put the Twins ahead 3-0, but the Royals' offense was a bit stronger over the rest of the game. Over his last 17 games, Correa has been on a tear, going 29-for-72 (.403) with 10 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. The shortstop's surge has lifted his season slash line to .288/365/.467 with 21 home runs, 60 RBI, 66 runs scored, 20 doubles and a triple through 124 contests.

Dylan Bundy - Surrenders pair of homers Bundy allowed four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Royals.
Impact Bundy gave up a two-run home run to MJ Melendez in the third inning and a solo shot to Hunter Dozier in the fifth. After continued trouble in the fifth, Bundy exited with two outs and Griffin Jax allowed an inherited runner to score, tacking a fourth run onto the starter's line. Bundy has completed five innings only once in his last five starts, though he's gone 1-1 with three no-decisions in that span. The veteran right-hander has a 4.78 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 89:26 K:BB through 131.2 innings across 27 starts this year. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels this weekend.

Sonny Gray - Lands on injured list Gray was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.
Impact The veteran right-hander surrendered four earned runs over two frames before he exited Monday's start in Kansas City with the injury. Gray spent time on the shelf with a strain of the same hamstring early in the season, and he aggravated the issue in early September before he departed Monday's contest. He'll be eligible to return for the final game of the regular season Oct. 5, but with the Twins seven games back of a playoff spot, he's likely to be shut down for the year.
