Byron Buxton - Removal deemed precautionary The Twins announced Buxton (undisclosed) has been medically cleared and was removed from Sunday's game against the White Sox for precautionary reasons after a collision with the ou...
Impact The 30-year-old was slow to get up after he made a leaping catch into the wall to end the sixth inning, but he may have been pulled from the contest regardless since Minnesota was holding a five-run lead. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on Buxton's status heading into Monday's series opener versus the Cubs given his injury history.

Impact Buxton was slow to get up after making the catch but was able to leave the field under his own power. The 30-year-old went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and two runs before departing the contest. The Twins should provide an update in the near future, but for now Buxton should be considered day-to-day.

Brooks Lee - Out of Sunday's lineup Lee is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Lee started the past 24 games after being called up for his big-league debut in early July, but he'll sit Sunday after he posted a .250/.311/.326 slash line with two homers, 14 RBI and eight runs in his first 103 plate appearances. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop while Austin Martin receives a start at the keystone.

Austin Martin - Getting fifth start in six games Martin will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Martin will crack the Minnesota lineup for the fifth time in six games, with three starts coming in left field and the other two coming at the keystone. The Twins should continue to open up regular playing time for the right-handed-hitter Martin against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start against right-handers may be more sporadic.

Carlos Santana - Getting afternoon off Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Jose Miranda will get the starting nod at first base while Santana takes a seat for the first time since July 8. Santana went hitless in the first two games of the series, but he owns a respectable .734 OPS over his 13 starts since the All-Star break.

Max Kepler - Rejoining lineup Sunday Kepler (head) is starting in right field and batting fifth Sunday against the White Sox.
Impact The 31-year-old was held out of the starting nine the past two games after being hit in the helmet by a ball Wednesday, though he came off the bench Saturday and went 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Kepler has enjoyed a strong start to the second half, as he has a .325/.386/.500 slash line with two doubles, a triple and a homer in 11 games since the All-Star break.

He added a single in the eighth, which he followed with a stolen base before coming around to score on a Willi Castro single. Jeffers is tied for fifth among big-league catchers this season with 16 homers and ranks eighth with 51 RBI. Both are career-high marks.

Bailey Ober - Extends quality-start streak Ober (11-5) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.
Impact Ober got through four scoreless frames before Chicago tied the game with a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings.

Ober notched his third straight victory and his eighth consecutive quality start. Over the latter streak, he's posted a 1.95 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 63:11 K:BB across 55.1 innings.
