Josh Winder - Set for another rehab outing Winder (shoulder) is scheduled to throw about 70 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 25-year-old covered only three frames during his previous rehab outing last week, and he'll continue ramping up his workload Wednesday. If all goes well, Winder could be back with the big-league club next week for the doubleheader against the Guardians on June 28.

Royce Lewis - Undergoes surgery Lewis underwent knee surgery Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lewis tore his right ACL for the second time in late May and will now embark on what's expected to be a year-long recovery program. The silver lining for Lewis is that he's already familiar with the process, but he'll carry significant injury concerns for the foreseeable future after undergoing the same major procedure twice in a 16-month span.

Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins starting lineups for June 21, 2022 Right-hander Aaron Civale was activated from the injured list to make Tuesday night's start for the G's. 3B Jose Ramirez back in the lineup.

Alex Kirilloff - May be top first baseman, for now Kirilloff will start at first base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Kirilloff will pick up his third consecutive start at first base after he went a combined 2-for-9 with two doubles, two RBI and a run in the final two contests of Minnesota's weekend series in Arizona. While Jorge Polanco (back) is on the injured list, Luis Arraez is expected to fill in as the Twins' primary second baseman, paving the way for Kirilloff to get a trial as the team's top first baseman. The lefty-hitting Kirilloff is likely to occupy the strong side of a platoon with the righty-hitting Jose Miranda.

Jose Miranda - May lose work to Kirilloff Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Miranda has posted an .884 OPS in June and seems to be hitting his stride after a rough start to his big-league career, but he may have to settle for a part-time role following the recent call-up of Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul. The rookie will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Aaron Civale) for the second time in three games while Kirilloff starts at first base and Gary Sanchez serves as the Twins' designated hitter.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Larnach - Sits in series opener Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Larnach has fallen into a 3-for-25 skid at the plate over his last seven starts, so he'll get a chance to hit the reset button as Minnesota opens its series with Cleveland. Gilberto Celestino will fill in for Larnach in left field.

Chris Archer - Another short start Sunday Archer (1-3) took the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on three hits and struck out three while walking none in four innings.
Impact This was just the second time in his last seven outings that Archer has allowed multiple runs, but he's only completed five innings in two of those outings. The right-hander's rarely been used for long outings this season, which makes it difficult for him to pitch deep enough to qualify for wins or earn quality starts. He's logged a 3.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 40:23 K:BB in 52.1 innings across 13 starts. He's lined up for a home start versus the Rockies next weekend.
