Twins' Byron Buxton: Goes yard in win
Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Rangers.
Buxton's hot stretch continued, as his solo homer in the sixth inning marked the 32-year-old's sixth long ball across his past nine appearances. It has been a superb season at the plate for the center fielder, as he's hitting .276/.335/.606 with 23 homers, 36 RBI, 48 runs and six stolen bases across 278 plate appearances. Of note, Buxton has dealt with some injuries this season, though none have necessitated a stint on the injured list, with him appearing in 62 of the Twins' 74 games.

Twins' Josh Bell: Blasts three-run homer in win
Bell went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Rangers.
Bell came to the plate with two runners on and two outs in the first inning and proceeded to golf a three-run homer off MacKenzie Gore to give the Twins an early lead. With a single added in the sixth inning, it marked the switch hitter's second consecutive multi-hit effort and fourth of the month. A strong June has improved Bell's overall numbers, though they remain fairly lackluster at .236/.289/.380 with eight homers, 13 doubles, 43 RBI, 34 runs and a stolen base across 71 appearances.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Secures seventh save
Gomez picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings.
Gomez entered with a two-run lead and two outs in the eighth inning and went on to convert a four-out save on 15 pitches without issue. It marked the seventh save of the season for the 26-year-old, who has emerged as the Twins' top option at closer. Since being traded from the Rays on May 6, Gomez has posted a 1.53 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB with six saves across 17.2 innings.

Twins' Mike Paredes: Logs 4.2 innings in no-decision
Paredes did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on four hits, no walks and a hit batsman over 4.2 innings against the Rangers. He struck out two.
Paredes left with the Twins leading but fell one out shy of qualifying for the win. The right-hander generally did a solid job of keeping the Rangers' offense in check, though Joc Pederson got the better of him with a two-run shot in the third inning. Paredes has now made two starts and two relief appearances, with Monday's start representing his longest outing to date, though each of the four appearances has lasted at least three innings. Across 15 frames, the 25-year-old owns a 4.20 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB with the big-league club this season. If Minnesota opts to keep Paredes in the rotation and continue building up his workload, his next start lines up for Sunday against Arizona.

Twins' Tristan Gray: Idle against southpaw
Gray is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
The left-handed-hitting Gray will head to the bench while the Twins go up against a left-handed starter (MacKenzie Gore) for the second time in three games. Ryan Kreidler will step in at shortstop in place of Gray, who is batting just .176/.222/.353 in 19 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

Twins' Trevor Larnach: Sitting with lefty starting
Larnach is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
The left-handed-hitting Larnach will head to the bench while the Twins go up against a left-handed starter (MacKenzie Gore) for the second time in three games. Minnesota called up Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, and he'll step in as Larnach's replacement in left field for what will be his MLB debut.

Twins' Alex Jackson: Making start for resting Caratini
Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rangers.
With top backstop Victor Caratini receiving a day off, Jackson will pick up his 10th start behind the plate since the Twins called him up from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19. Over 31 plate appearances with Minnesota, Jackson is batting .267 with one extra-base hit (a double), three runs, one RBI and a 0:11 BB:K.

Twins' Victor Caratini: Out of lineup Monday
Caratini is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Rangers.
Caratini will get a day off after clubbing his fourth home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Twins on Monday.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Taking seat versus lefty
Lee is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rangers.
The left-handed-hitting Lee will grab a seat as the Rangers send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the hill. Royce Lewis is getting a start at third base for the Twins in the series opener.

Twins' Kyler Fedko: Added to big-league roster
The Twins selected Fedko's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.
It's a well-earned promotion for Fedko, who has slashed .286/.372/.578 with 15 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 26:53 BB:K over 58 games with St. Paul. The 26-year-old can play all three outfield spots and also has some experience at first and second base. The right-handed-hitting Fedko will likely see most of his playing time for the Twins against lefties, at least initially.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Tending to glute injury
Culpepper exited early Saturday in Triple-A St. Paul's win over Toledo due to glute tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The 23-year-old shortstop appears ready to make his big-league debut after having thus far produced a .273/.377/.498 slash line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul, but his first order of business will be recovering from the glute injury. Per Emily Waldon of Baseball America, the Twins don't view the issue as a major concern, as Culpepper is expected to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list and return to the St. Paul lineup in 3-to-5 days.

Twins' Mike Paredes: Getting another start
Paredes will start Monday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Paredes made two long relief appearances for Minnesota before faring well in his abbreviated first major-league start last week in Detroit, striking out four over three innings of one-run ball. The 25-year-old had made seven starts and two relief appearances with Triple-A St. Paul this season, posting a 3.38 ERA and 33:8 K:BB over 34.2 innings. Paredes hasn't thrown more than 68 pitches in an appearance at any level this season, so he's unlikely to pitch deep into Monday's contest.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Racks up three more hits
Buxton went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Buxton is hitting .357 (15-for-42) with five home runs, eight RBI and three doubles over 11 contests in June. The outfielder has logged multiple hits in four of his last five games to fuel the surge. On the year, he's up to a .276 batting average, a .936 OPS, 22 homers, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases. As always, staying healthy is the biggest factor for Buxton, who can offer five-category upside when he does. He has dealt with some injury concerns this year, but nothing that's been bad enough to require a stint on the injured list yet.

Twins' Victor Caratini: Clubs homer in win
Caratini went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Caratini got the Twins on the board with a fourth-inning homer off Michael McGreevy. This was Caratini's second long ball in June, surpassing the number he had in all of May. The catcher is now hitting .215 with a .630 OPS, four homers, 25 RBI, 11 runs scored and five doubles over 53 contests this season. He'll continue to see a decent share of playing time at catcher while Ryan Jeffers (hand) is out.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Converts sixth save
Gomez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Gomez has earned six saves on the year, three of which have come in June. He's allowed two runs over six innings this month with a 7:3 K:BB. Gomez has a 4.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB over 33.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays. Most of his high-leverage work (five saves and five holds) has come with Minnesota after he was traded in early May. The Twins' bullpen has been volatile this season, but Gomez should continue to get at least a share of ninth-inning duties as long as he avoids disasters, which he has done well with a 1.65 ERA over 16.1 innings for the Twins.

Twins' Taj Bradley: Pitches into seventh inning
Bradley allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.
Bradley rebounded fairly well after three straight starts in which he failed to complete five frames. He still gave up four runs, with a pair of homers accounting for three of those runs on his line Sunday. Bradley has taken a step back after starting the season in great form, but this effort could help him turn things around a bit. He's at a 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 80:30 K:BB over 71.2 innings across 13 starts this season. His next start is tentatively scheduled to be on the road in Arizona.

Twins' Orlando Arcia: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Twins designated Arcia for assignment following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals, Audra Martin of Twins.tv reports.
Arcia had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul on May 19 and produced a .271/.300/.354 slash line with one home run, two RBI and six runs in 19 contests with Minnesota. Minnesota will call up outfielder Kyler Fedko from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Arcia on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster.
