My optimistic take. The Saints season is over in a week. They have to add Austin Martin to the 40 man roster this offseason. This clears a spot on the 40 man roster if they want to promote Martin.

It could be but I think the pitching options that need he a spot on the 40 are more needed than Martin.

Yeah, a bunch of 60-day IL guys are coming for 40-man spots. I'd be shocked if they add anyone else to the 40-man before the offseason.

Does Buxton factor in to any of this? Lots of 'talk' about him coming back but no action. Do the Twins realistically know Buck is done for the season but want to keep a few embers burning? Lets say they clinch in the next 2 days, which is very possible, will they then let him play a few games to rest some of the 'regulars'? Anyone have some current stuff on this?

Correa to the IL as of a couple minutes ago.  Makes sense to rest him fully vs allowing him to play next few days if you don't need him.  Larnach up which is kind of odd but that moves Castro and Farmer to left side of infield with Larnach patrolling left

Odd that it's Luplow and not Stevenson.

Stevenson offers base running and stop gap in Center field (although that seems less necessary).  I don't know if Stevenson will be on the playoff roster; however, it is good to have situational players available.  Imagine the 10th inning and starting a runner at 2nd base.  Or needing a run late in the game.
