Kyle Farmer - Beginning rehab stint Farmer (shoulder) is starting a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Farmer has been out nearly a month due to a shoulder strain but has now been cleared for game action. The 33-year-old may not require a lengthy rehab stint before rejoining the Twins.

Giovanny Gallegos - Links up with Minnesota The Twins signed Gallegos to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact The veteran right-hander elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Cardinals last week, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new organization. Gallegos struggled to a 6.53 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings before being let go by St. Louis, but he filled a high-leverage role and recorded 38 saves and 56 holds across the previous three seasons.

Byron Buxton - Battling back stiffness Manager Rocco Baldelli said Buxton, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, is dealing with lower-back stiffness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Twins announced that Buxton was medically cleared after being removed from Sunday's game following a collision with the outfield wall, but the back stiffness is keeping him out of the lineup Tuesday for the second straight day. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old is ready to go for Wednesday's series finale in Chicago, though Baldelli expressed confidence Buxton will be available for Friday's doubleheader versus Cleveland.

Brooks Lee - Back in lineup Tuesday Lee (shoulder) is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cubs.
Impact Lee sat out the past two games while dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's matchup at Wrigley Field. The 23-year-old has struggled at the plate since the All-Star break with a .229/.309/.229 slash line in 13 games.

Byron Buxton - Still out of lineup Tuesday Buxton (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Impact The 30-year-old departed Sunday's contest after colling with the center-field wall and will sit Tuesday for the second straight game. The Twins said after Sunday's game that Buxton's removal was precautionary and that he had been medically cleared, but two straight absences seem to indicate otherwise. Austin Martin will receive a start in center field Tuesday for Minnesota.

Griffin Jax - Collects eighth save Jax picked up the save in Monday's 3-0 win over the Cubs, pitching a scoreless inning with one strikeout. He allowed one hit.
Impact Jax secured his first save since June 23, working around a Cody Bellinger single to wrap up the Twins' 63rd win of the season. Jhoan Duran worked the eighth inning, retiring the eight and nine hitters before allowing a double to Ian Happ then striking out Michael Busch. Perhaps manager Rocco Baldelli will start using Jax in more save situations amid a tight AL Wild Card race as the 29-year-old has been better than Duran this season, pitching to a 2.01 ERA and 2.11 FIP -- versus Duran's 3.47 ERA and 3.91 FIP -- across 49.1 innings with an 11.9 K/9.
