Andrew Velazquez - HIts first career homerVelazquez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer, the first of his career, in Saturday's win over the Twins.

ImpactThe homer had a minimal impact on the outcome of the game, as it stretched the Yankees' lead from five to six runs, but it was a nice moment for the Bronx native, who's been crashing on his parents' couch during his brief time in the big leagues. While Velazquez has been a fun story, he remains largely uninteresting for fantasy purposes, as he's a 27-year-old utility man with a lifetime .178 batting average in 147 career trips to the plate.

Gerrit Cole - Tosses six scoreless inningsCole improved to 12-6 on the season Saturday against the Twins, striking out six while walking one and allowing five hits in six scoreless innings.

ImpactThe Twins rarely gave Cole much trouble outside of the fifth inning, where they loaded the bases with two outs, but Cole struck out a pair of batters to end the threat. His strikeout total was his lowest since July 4, but he's now allowed just a single earned run in 11.2 innings since returning from the COVID-19 injured list. He'll look to keep that run going in his next outing, which should come sometime in the four-game series against Oakland.

ImpactHurricane Henri is forecasted to hit the East Coast on Sunday, so the teams will be unable to play their series finale. The Twins haven't revealed their revised rotation plans, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Jax start on the road against the Red Sox on Tuesday.
