I do think all teams do carry 13 unless they can manipulate the roster for a day or two. -
If the Twins aren't going to have Buxton for 4-5 days, they really should consider putting Buck on the IL.
-
I would imagine that one of the three (Correa, Buxton, Gallo) would play in an emergency. But, I would guess they'd lose the DH first.
-
I was wondering why they didn't find a place for Castro until I saw he is 1-17 vs. Civale. Well, he's in there now so I'll say he's due.
-
Well, our starting pitcher is making the minimum and we have the four highest salaried players on the bench. Kinda works.
-
He stole like four bases in his rehab, on minor league fields which would be more hazardous.
-
Apparently there have been no transactions today, with Buxton and Correa out the Twins will be playing two short today and they'll wait a day or two to activate Thielbar.
-
80 miles from Target Field, we're getting a thunderstorm--more thunder than storm. Any rain in Minneapolis?
-
Agreed, but they may appear to be out of the box.
-
I'll agree to a point. "The box" is two-dimensional. Many pitches might be over the front of the plate, but move out of the zone before they reach the catcher. Also, most views from center field have an angle so that the pitcher doesn't block the view. Umps do clearly miss pitches, but no one is saying they favor one team or another.

Concur. Two totally different vibes from the two young first round draft choices. Fire and ice? Apparently, Lewis wants to claim ice water in his veins, but AK is a different kind of cool.

We can add Trevor Larnach as a rehabbing major leaguer playing for the Saints and most likely subtract Thielbar, who flew back to Minneapolis and may be activated before the Twins leave town.
-
Unless someone goes on the IL, Wallner would have to wait another week. Of the three players that went out, I think an IL stint is most likely for Correa. Two days rest didn't work, so I would guess they'll put him on IL and be more aggressive in his treatment. The depth and versatility the Twins have make it possible to add Wallner in place of a shortstop (I think). It would be interesting to see if Lewis goes to short in the event CC is out for ten days or more.

Incredible team victory last night. I agree with Brian that someone should go on the IL and Wallner should be back in the lineup.

Twins hit the ball all around Minute Maid and didn't hit a homer. Balls fell in.
-
Heroes—Lewis, Solano, Castro, Vázquez, Pagán, Jax and designated runner Billy Hamilton Ryan Jeffers.
-
Vázquez is one of the very slowest runners in baseball. Jeffers is better by over a foot per second, still below average.
-
Donald Barrels.

What recent game does this game resemble? I’d say it is a lot like yesterday’s except the balls are finding holes against the Twins. Cleveland put together an inning by finding holes aided most by López walking the first batter. Some games you aren’t meant to win. I’m wondering how many go on the IL. What a strange game baseball is sometimes.
-
Strike three.

Make contact Royce!!
-
Ouch!!
-
Naylor is running hot right now. Probably not wise to put people on in front of him.
-
Roster Crunch? Who stays, who goes?
stringer bell replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Larnach will be rehabbing for the Saints in Buffalo. I don’t know if there’s currently a spot for him on the Twins’ active roster, but whichever is swinging between Trevor and Wallner is probably first in line if there’s an injury. Wallner had three more hits today, so Larnach had better hit the ground running. -
I took a look at May stats just now. Top candidates to turn the page to June--Vázquez (.446 OPS), Kepler (.548), MAT (.552), Buck (.645). Pitchers--Jax 1-4 5.56 ERA, JLópez 0-2 9.00 ERA Incidentally, the Twins were 12-15 despite outscoring their opponents by 20 runs in May.
