Trevor Larnach - Not in Wednesday's lineup Larnach isn't starting Wednesday against Seattle.
Jorge Polanco - Remains out of lineup Polanco (back) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Polanco continues to deal with back soreness and will be held out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday that Polanco underwent an MRI that didn't reveal anything too concerning, so he should be considered day-to-day for now, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Luis Arraez will shift to the keystone while Jose Miranda draws the start at first base Wednesday.

Jovani Moran - Sent to St. Paul The Twins optioned Moran to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.
Impact The transaction clears room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Sonny Gray (pectoral), who was activated from the 15-day injured list in advance of his scheduled start Wednesday in Seattle. During his two-and-a-half-week-long stay with the big club, Moran made five appearances in relief and collected one save while striking out 10 in 7.2 innings and giving up two earned runs on five hits and seven walks.

Sonny Gray - Officially reinstated from IL Gray (pectoral) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Mariners.
Impact Gray has been sidelined since late May due to his right pectoral strain and didn't require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Twins' rotation. The right-hander threw 30 pitches in a simulated game Friday and is expected to be available to toss approximately four to six innings during Wednesday's start.

Joe Ryan - Handed loss in return Ryan (5-3) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings, taking the loss versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
Impact Ryan threw 74 pitches (45 strikes) in the outing, but two-run home runs by Eugenio Suarez and Ty France were enough to sink him. The Twins provided virtually no support with just four hits (all singles) and two walks in the contest. Ryan has allowed more than two runs in just two of his nine starts this season, so it's safe to assume he was a bit rusty after a bout with COVID-19. He has a 2.81 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB across 48 innings this season, and he'll look to correct course next week at home versus the Guardians.

Gary Sánchez - Not in Tuesday's lineup Sanchez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sanchez is 2-for-19 over his past five contests and will take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Byron Buxton will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Gilberto Celestino starts in center field.

Jorge Polanco - Out again Tuesday Polanco (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Seattle, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 28-year-old will be withheld from the lineup for the second consecutive game due to back soreness. Polanco should be considered day-to-day, and it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be available off the bench.

Elliot Soto - Designated for assignment Soto was designated for assignment Tuesday.
Impact His contract was selected by the Twins on Monday and he will now be cast off the 40-man roster without appearing in a big-league game. Soto hit .213/.327/.331 in 41 games at Triple-A.

Joe Ryan - Activated Tuesday Ryan (COVID-19) was activated ahead of his start Tuesday in Seattle.
Impact He logged three scoreless innings while throwing 40 total pitches in his rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul last Thursday. If he is efficient in his first start back, Ryan could go deep enough to qualify for the win, but that's not a given.

Sonny Gray - Returning from IL on Wednesday The Twins plan to activate Gray (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday in Seattle, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gray will be one of two top-of-the-rotation arms rejoining the Twins this week, as Joe Ryan (illness) will be activated from the COVID-19-related later Tuesday ahead of his scheduled outing against the Mariners. After landing on IL on June 2 with the right pectoral strain, Gray wasn't sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment, but he threw a 30-pitch simulated game Friday and should be able to give the Twins around four to six innings Wednesday.

Joe Ryan - Confirmed to start Tuesday The Twins will activate Ryan (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list to start Tuesday's game in Seattle, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Minnesota will get two key rotation cogs back in the fold for the series in Seattle, as Sonny Gray (pectoral) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday. The Twins will officially reinstate Ryan shortly before Tuesday's 10:10 p.m. ET opening pitch after the rookie right-hander tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul last Thursday. Because he hasn't pitched for the big club since May 21 after testing positive for COVID-19 and tossed only 40 pitches in his rehab outing, Ryan may be limited in his return.
