Bailey Ober - Set for spot startOber will be called up to start Sunday's game against Washington, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
ImpactOber recorded a 3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 11 starts last year but failed to win a rotation spot this spring following the offseason addition of Pablo Lopez. If he was disappointed in that decision, it didn't show up in his minor-league numbers, as he struck out 30.1 percent of opposing batters en route to a 2.55 ERA in four starts for Triple-A St. Paul. He's nominally up just to give the Twins' starters some extra rest, but if Kenta Maeda's ankle injury requires a trip to the injured list, Ober could stick around for more than one outing.

Byron Buxton - Homers and walks in lossBuxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Nationals.
ImpactBuxton swatted a solo homer in the third inning off Chad Kuhl to get the Twins on the scoreboard. The outfielder has homered three times this season, and he's picked up extra-base hits in three consecutive games. Buxton has been a hot-and-cold hitter for the majority of his career -- when he's been healthy enough to play -- and it appears he might be on one of those hot runs currently.
