Chris Paddack - Pushed to 60-day ILThe Twins transferred Paddack (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
ImpactThe transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for right-hander Diego Castillo, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays. Paddack was initially placed on the IL on July 20 with a right forearm strain and wasn't counting on returning until late September in a best-case scenario, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his recovery timeline. Per MLB.com, Paddack resumed playing catch from 60 feet last week, but he still has several milestones to hit in the rehab process before his return to the active roster can be considered imminent.

Caleb Boushley - Pushed off 40-man rosterThe Twins designated Boushley for assignment Sunday.
ImpactBoushley has now been cast off the Twins' 40-man roster on two occasions, this time to make room on the active roster for utility man Michael Helman, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday. The Twins are hopeful that Boushley will go unclaimed off waivers and remain in the organization as pitching depth at St. Paul. Over 22 starts at Triple-A this season, Boushley has turned in a 4.97 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 94:20 K:BB across 116 innings.

Manuel Margot - Shelved with groin strainThe Twins placed Margot on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right groin strain.
ImpactMargot underwent an MRI after suffering the groin injury in Saturday's 15-0 loss to the Blue Jays, but since the results of those tests haven't been made public, an exact timeline for the outfielder's return isn't known. The 29-year-old has cobbled together a mediocre .250/.302/.350 slash line with four home runs and five steals over 306 plate appearances while mostly serving as a short-side platoon player this season, so his upcoming absence shouldn't have many ramifications in fantasy baseball.

Diego Castillo - Moves up to majorsThe Twins selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
ImpactCastillo had previously given up just two earned runs over seven innings over five appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen earlier this season, but the shiny 2.57 ERA came with an ugly 1.71 WHIP and 3:7 K:BB. He was bumped off the Twins' 40-man roster in June before he elected free agency, only to re-sign with the organization on a minor-league deal in early July. Castillo has continued to show spotty control at St. Paul this season (21 walks in 32.1 innings), so the Twins are unlikely to turn to him for high-leverage work during his latest stint in the big leagues.

Paolo Espino - Cast off 40-man rosterThe Blue Jays designated Espino for assignment Sunday.
ImpactToronto swapped Espino off the 40-man roster for another right-hander in Dillon Tate, who's seven years younger and possesses a better track record at the big-league level. The 37-year-old Espino has made just three appearances for Toronto this season, instead spending most of the 2024 campaign as a starter at Triple-A Buffalo, with whom he turned in a 5.18 ERA over 73 innings.
