Tyler Duffey - Struggles again Tuesday Duffey allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two over one inning Tuesday against the Yankees.
Impact It was Duffey's second poor outing in a row after allowing three runs and a home run in two-thirds of an inning at Toronto on Sunday. Duffey has given up nine runs in his last 4.2 innings with 10 hits allowed and four walks. He may need to be used in some lower leverage spots until he gets out of his recent slump.

Juan Minaya - Designated for assignment Minaya was designated for assignment after Tuesday's loss to the Yankees, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He gave up one run on three walks with three strikeouts in one inning i...
Impact Minaya saw his ERA rise to 8.53 as he's given up six runs in 6.1 innings this season. The Twins will likely add another bullpen arm from the minors before Wednesday's game.

Luis Arraez - Exits with sore shoulder Arraez left Tuesday's loss to the Yankees in the seventh inning with right shoulder tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Arraez dove for a ball at first base and landed on his shoulder before leaving which may have caused the discomfort. He was replaced by Jose Miranda at first base.

Nick Gordon - Back to bench Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gordon had started in nine of the last 11 games, but he's likely to see his playing time take a hit with Max Kepler (personal) coming off the restricted list to begin the week. Though he's seen most of his time in the outfield of late, the 26-year-old has experience at both middle-infield spots, but his opportunities there could soon become scarce as well with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday.

Jose Miranda - Retreats to bench Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miranda has produced three home runs while batting .318 over his last six starts, but his playing time could grow more scarce with Max Kepler recently returning from the restricted list and with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to come off the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. The rookie will be taking a seat Tuesday for only the third time in the Twins' last nine contests.

Joe Ryan - Rehab start likely on tap Manager Rocco Baldelli confirmed Tuesday that Ryan (illness) will likely require a minor-league rehab start before returning from the COVID-19-related injured list, Betsy Helfand o...
Impact Though Ryan is throwing again after he cleared all COVID-19-related protocols since testing positive for the virus May 25, he'll apparently need some time to build back up for starting duty after he was sidelined for nearly two weeks. Baldelli didn't specify when Ryan will begin his rehab assignment or which affiliate he'll join, but he'll presumably report to the minors later this week.

Ryan Jeffers - Not starting Tuesday Jeffers will sit Tuesday against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jeffers finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. Gary Sanchez starts behind the plate against his former team.

Cole Sands - Called up for start The Twins recalled Sands from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Yankees in Minnesota.
Impact The Twins placed outfielder Kyle Garlick (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list to create room on the 26-man active roster for Sands, who will be making his second start and fourth appearance of the season for the big club. Over a sample of 18.2 innings at Triple-A this season, Sands has been tagged for 15 earned runs on 23 hits and six walks while striking out 21, so he remains a risky fantasy option while he opposes a powerful Yankees lineup. According to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, manager Rocco Baldelli said that starter Joe Ryan will likely make a minor-league rehab appearance before coming off the COVID-19-related injured list, so Sands could get one more turn in the rotation after Tuesday's outing.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Garlick - Placed on 10-day injured list Garlick (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to June 4.
Impact Garlick sustained a left hamstring strain during Friday's win in Toronto and will be forced to miss at least a week and a half due to the injury. It's not yet clear when Garlick will be able to return to game action, but Gilberto Celestino should see a slight uptick in playing time as outfield depth.

Carlos Correa - Expects to return Wednesday Correa (illness) was seen working out at Target Field on Tuesday and said he expects to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Correa's presence at team facilities suggests he's cleared all COVID-19-related protocols after testing positive for the virus May 31, so at this stage, he'll just need to prove that he's feeling good from a conditioning standpoint after the week-long layoff. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with how the 27-year-old responded to Tuesday's workout, he should be back in the lineup at shortstop for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Sands - Picking up spot start Tuesday The Twins will call up Sands from Triple-A St. Paul to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees in Minnesota, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sands is most likely just making a spot start for the Twins, who could have either Joe Ryan (illness) or Josh Winder (shoulder) ready to return from the COVID-19-related injured list and 15-day injured list, respectively, by the weekend. The 24-year-old Sands has previously made three appearances (one start) for Minnesota this season, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out 10 over eight innings.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Thornburg - Catches on with Minnesota The Twins signed Thornburg to a minor-league deal Friday and assigned him to Triple-A St. Paul.
Impact Thornburg will move on to the sixth organization of his career after stops with the Brewers, Red Sox, Dodgers, Reds and Braves. He was released by Atlanta in late May after he surrendered four runs on 12 hits and five walks while striking out 10 over 9.1 innings out of the big-league bullpen. The 33-year-old will serve as organizational relief depth while he's with Minnesota.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Steer - Four homers in two games Steer crushed three home runs Sunday for Triple-A St. Paul, giving him a .255/.349/.636 batting line since being promoted.
Impact He also homered on Saturday, so that's four in two days for the rising infield prospect. Steer offers a fantasy-friendly combination of power and versatility, having hit 14 homers already this year while making appearances at second, third and short. He also has a trim strikeout rate (14.7 percent in Double-A, 17.5 percent since the promotion), which is promising. He didn't come into this season with much helium, but with solid abilities across the board and the potential for multi-position eligibility, he could be a useful fantasy Swiss Army knife once he eventually gets the call to Minnesota.
