Brock Stewart - Slated for rehab assignment Stewart (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Impact Stewart has been on the shelf since early May with right shoulder tendinitis but is ready to test things out in game action after getting through several throwing sessions without any hiccups. With a 0.66 ERA and 34.8 percent strikeout rate as a Twin, Stewart will be a big boost to the bullpen once he returns, which should happen at the start of the second half.

Jose Miranda - Resting after hitting streak ends Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

The flyout ended a streak of 13 consecutive plate appearances in which he got on base and 12 consecutive at-bats with a hit, the latter of which tied an MLB record. Miranda still has a 10-game active hitting streak, which he'll presumably put on hold Sunday before he likely returns to the lineup for Monday's series opener against the White Sox.
