Twins' Connor Prielipp: Fans seven in no-decision
Prielipp took a no-decision against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
Prielipp bookended his outing poorly, serving up a Jackson Chourio home run in the first inning before coughing up two more runs in the fifth, but he did register 15 whiffs Sunday. The seven punchouts were the southpaw's most since June 28 versus the Rockies, which also represents his last quality start. Prielipp will be tough to trust when he brings a shaky 4.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 88:32 K:BB over 82.2 innings into his next scheduled outing at home against Philadelphia.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting Sunday
Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Victor Caratini will receive a turn behind the dish while Jeffers rest for the series finale. Jeffers started behind the plate in the Twins' previous two contests and went 2-for-8 with a double, two walks, two runs and an RBI.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Receiving Sunday off
Culpepper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
The 23-year-old started at shortstop in his first two MLB games after being called up Friday, and he'll get a break Sunday after going 2-for-5 with a walk, two hit-by-pitches and solo home run. Ryan Kreidler will handle shortstop for the Twins in the series finale.

Twins' Taj Bradley: Fans seven in no-decision
Bradley took a no-decision against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
Bradley had some strong swing-and-miss stuff going, inducing 13 whiffs on top of his seven punchouts, but it wasn't enough to help him log what would've been his fourth straight quality start. The right-hander continues to be a reliable rotation piece for the Twins, working at least five innings in 11 consecutive outings. Bradley will take a career-best 3.76 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 148:55 K:BB over 131.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Philadelphia.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Notches save No. 16
Gomez struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to collect his 16th save of the season in Friday's 8-6 win over Milwaukee.
Gomez began the frame with a six-pitch strikeout of Jake Bauers and needed just six more pitches to collect the final two outs of the game. He's now tallied a save in back-to-back games and still seems to be the team's preferred closer despite the addition of Jeff Hoffman at the trade deadline.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Belts homer in MLB debut
Culpepper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's win over the Brewers.
Culpepper took left-hander Shane Drohan deep in the fourth inning of Friday's contest to check off numerous firsts in what was only the second at-bat in the young infielder's MLB career. Culpepper figures to start nearly every day for the Twins now that he's been called up from Triple-A, and he offers plenty of fantasy upside after slashing .271/.367/.478 with 14 homers, 46 RBI, 63 runs and 17 steals across 74 games at Triple-A.

Twins' Zebby Matthews: Exits with trainer
Matthews was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a right foot blister, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Matthews came out to the mound to warm up for the sixth inning but was taken out of the game by a trainer. It's unclear whether his blister will affect his availability for his next start -- lined up for Wednesday against Baltimore -- but the Twins may provide more details in the near future. Before his exit, Matthews gave up six runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while collecting four strikeouts.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Officially promoted to big leagues
The Twins selected Culpepper's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
Culpepper will take over at shortstop for the Twins moving forward after slashing .271/.367/.478 with 14 homers, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 17 stolen bases and a 39:64 BB:K across 343 plate appearances with St. Paul this season. With power and speed upside, Culpepper should be added in all fantasy formats. He's batting seventh in his major-league debut Friday against Brewers lefty Shane Drohan.

Twins' Taylor Rashi: DFA'd by Minnesota
The Twins designated Rashi for assignment Friday.
Minnesota needed the spot on the 40-man roster for Kaelen Culpepper's promotion to the big leagues. Rashi was acquired from the Diamondbacks in June and has posted a 4.76 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 17 innings with Triple-A St. Paul.

Twins' Joe Ryan: Officially placed on 15-day IL
The Twins placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left glute strain.
Imaging revealed the injury Thursday, and it's unclear at this point if Ryan will need to miss more than the minimum 15 days. With Ryan off to the injured list, Zebby Matthews has been summoned back from Triple-A St. Paul and will start Friday's game against the Brewers. Ryan owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings spanning 23 starts this season.

Twins' Tristan Gray: Dispatched to Triple-A
The Twins optioned Gray to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
With top prospect Kaelen Culpepper promoted for his major-league debut, Gray will head back to the minors after slashing .225/.267/.324 with four homers, 29 RBI, 16 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 10:60 BB:K across 188 trips to the plate with the Twins this season. Culpepper should get a long runway at shortstop in Minnesota.

Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Joining big-league roster
The Twins will call up Culpepper from Triple-A St. Paul prior to Friday's game in Milwaukee, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Culpepper might have been promoted earlier this season had he not missed time with hand and glute injuries. He's healthy now, and will take over as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch. A first-round pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Culpepper has slashed .271/.367/.478 with 14 home runs, 17 stolen bases and a 39:64 BB:K over 74 contests this season with St. Paul.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Slow recovery from hip issue
Buxton (hip) has yet to resume baseball activities since landing on the 10-day injured list July 29, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. "It's a little slower than what I expected, but I'm starting to pick it up a little more, do a little more things as far as loading, isometrics and weight training stuff, lifting," Buxton said Thursday. "Hopefully, relay that over to the field over a couple of days."
Buxton hit the IL for the second time in less than a month after suffering an aggravation of a right hip impingement, an injury that had been bothering him since mid-May. He received an unspecified injection last week to treat the injury, and he won't be in line to return from the IL when first eligible this weekend. While Buxton is on the shelf, Luke Keaschall will likely continue to serve as the Twins' everyday center fielder, with Alan Roden holding down the strong side of a platoon in right field.

Twins' Zebby Matthews: Rejoining Minnesota rotation
The Twins plan to recall Matthews from Triple-A St. Paul to start Friday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 26-year-old will be entering the rotation as a replacement for Joe Ryan, who is headed to the injured list after he was diagnosed Thursday with a mild left glute strain. Matthews was demoted to Triple-A last weekend after losing his rotation spot to the newly acquired Dean Kremer, and he owns a 5.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 69:26 K:BB in 81 innings over 14 starts this year for Minnesota.
