Kody Funderburk - Shelved with oblique strain The Twins placed Funderburk on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left oblique strain.
Impact After being called up from Triple-A St. Paul on June 21, Funderburk made six appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen and gave up seven earned runs over 9.1 innings before sustaining the oblique injury. The Twins promoted right-hander Ronny Henriquez from Triple-A to replace Funderburk in the bullpen.

Ronny Henriquez - Back with big club The Twins recalled Henriquez from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
Impact He'll join Minnesota as a replacement in the bullpen for left-hander Kody Funderburk (oblique), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Henriquez had previously made two appearances for the big club this season, striking out three over three scoreless innings.

Manuel Margot - Sitting in second straight game Margot is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Margot had picked up starts in four of the Twins' final five games before the All-Star break, but he finds himself on the bench for a second straight contest to begin the second half. Even with injuries beginning to pile up for the Twins with all of Carlos Correa (heel), Jose Miranda (back), Kyle Farmer (shoulder) and Royce Lewis (adductor) landing on the injured list within the past three weeks, Margot is still likely to see the majority of his playing time against left-handed pitching.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Wallner - Hitting bench Sunday Wallner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Austin Martin will enter the lineup in left field in place of Wallner, who had picked up starts in the corner outfield or at designated hitter in each of Minnesota's first eight games following his July 7 call-up from Triple-A St. Paul. During that eight-game stretch, Wallner hit .333 and flashed power (two home runs, two doubles), but it came with a 42.9 percent strikeout rate. Though the high amount of swing and miss in Wallner's game remains a concern, he should have a relatively clear path to playing time while the Twins contend with a slew of injuries to position players.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Jeffers - Resting Sunday Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Dating back to before the All-Star break, Jeffers had started in each of the Twins' last five contests at either catcher or designated hitter, but he'll take a seat Sunday as Minnesota and Milwaukee close their series with a day game. Christian Vazquez will get a turn behind the dish in the finale.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Miranda - Needs more time on IL Miranda (back) has improved but he will need several more days before he returns from the injured list, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Miranda could have returned from the IL on Sunday, but it may be until later in the week before he returns. He may need a short rehab stint at Triple-A St. Paul, according to the report.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Stewart - Could return next week Stewart (shoulder) has given up one run in three innings at Triple-A St. Paul with five strikeouts and two walks during a rehab assignment. He'll make at least one more appearance...
Impact Stewart has been on the shelf with shoulder tendinitis since early May. With a 0.66 ERA and 34.8 percent strikeout rate over 41 career innings with the Twins, Stewart will be a big boost to the bullpen once he returns.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Royce Lewis - Could begin rehab assignment soon Lewis (abductor strain) is expected to go on a short minor-league rehab assignment next week, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. Lewis started running and taking batting practice d...
Impact Lewis may only need a few games in the minors before he's activated from the injured list. Lewis has been on the IL since July 2 due to a right adductor strain. It was his second IL stint of the season as he missed nearly 10 weeks due to a strained right quad after suffering an injury on Opening Day.

Carlos Santana - Launches 14th homer Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.
Impact Santana hit just .133 over his first nine games in July, but he's gone deep twice over his last three contests while going 3-for-9 in that span. The first baseman is up to a .244/.327/.434 slash line with 14 homers, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored, two stolen bases and 17 doubles through 90 games. Santana's always been fairly disciplined at the plate, but he's getting by on a 9.7 percent walk rate this year, the lowest of his career.

Pablo López - Sharp in no-decision Lopez allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Saturday.
Impact Lopez limited the damage to an RBI single by Jackson Chourio in the third inning, but the Twins didn't get on the board until the eighth. This was Lopez's third quality start in his last five outings. Minnesota's ace has had a few too many duds this year, giving him a 4.86 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 128:24 K:BB through 111 innings over 20 starts. He's projected to make his next start at Detroit.

Byron Buxton - Back in lineup Saturday Buxton is starting in center field and batting third Saturday versus the Brewers.
Impact Buxton was absent from the Twins' lineup for the team's final two games prior to the All-Star break, but he'll be back in action Saturday. A notoriously volatile hitter, Buxton has been on a tear since early June, batting .376 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases over his last 101 at-bats. He'll look to keep up the hot streak as Minnesota officially kicks off the "second half" of their season against Milwaukee.

Edouard Julien - Joins Twins, starting Saturday Julien was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He'll bat ninth and play second base against the Brewers.
Impact With Carlos Correa (foot) placed on the injured list, the Twins had a significant need for middle infield depth, and opted to bring Julien up to the big-league roster. The 25-year-old has 194 plate appearances with Minnesota this season, slashing .207/.309/.367 with seven home runs and six stolen bases.
