Twins' Noah Davis: Traded to Twins
The Twins acquired Davis from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Davis had been designated for assignment by the Dodgers following a nightmarish relief outing that saw him surrender 10 runs while recording four outs. He's posted an 8.95 ERA across 23 outings at the big-league level covering parts of four seasons. Davis has been assigned to Triple-A St. Paul.

Twins' Matt Barr: Picked in fifth round
The Twins have selected Barr with the 149th overall pick of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Known for how well he spins the ball from the JUCO ranks, Barr is 6-foot-6 and can get his fastball up to 97 mph already. He is a volatile prospect with a high ceiling, as there's room for him to eventually be sitting in the upper-90s with his fastball, but it's unclear if he'll have the command to start.

Twins' Jason Reitz: Nabbed by Twins
The Twins have selected Reitz with the 119th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Reitz is a 6-foot-11 right-hander who sits in the low-90s with his fastball, but the pitch plays up because of his length. Like most very tall pitchers, Reitz struggles to repeat his delivery and throw strikes, but he has some bat-missing upside if the Twins are able to get him synced up consistently.

Twins' Emmanuel Rodriguez: Exits with side injury
Rodriguez left Saturday's game for Triple-A St. Paul in the fourth inning due to an apparent side injury, MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez had just returned Tuesday after missing more than a month of action with a right hip injury. It sounds like he could be headed to the injured list.

Twins' James Ellwanger: Snagged by Twins
The Twins have selected Ellwanger with the 88th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Ellwanger dealt with some arm injuries during his time at Dallas Baptist, but he can flash loud stuff when he's on. The 6-foot-4 righty comes with significant bullpen risk long term, as the draft-eligible sophomore had a walk rate over 12 percent both years in college.

Twins' Zebby Matthews: Dazzles in rehab start
Matthews (shoulder) struck out nine and and allowed no hits and one walk over four shutout innings Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul.
Pitching in a game setting for the first time since June 4, Matthews was about as sharp as the Twins could have hoped. The right-hander showed no signs of being limited by the moderate subscapularis strain that has kept him on the shelf for more than a month, as he needed just 56 pitches to record his 12 outs while flashing a fastball that topped out at around 97 to 98 miles per hour. Though Matthews isn't yet fully stretched out for a typical starter's workload, the Twins could nonetheless be willing to bring him back from the injured list for the first turn through the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. Matthews went 1-1 with a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 19 innings over his first four starts of the season for Minnesota before landing on the shelf.

Twins' Bailey Ober: Completes side session
Ober (hip) has been able to throw multiple bullpen sessions since landing on the injured list July 2, MLB.com reports.
Ober was never shut down from throwing following his placement on the IL, and he quickly advanced to throwing off a mound once the anti-inflammatory medicine he received took full effect. Though he'll be eligible to return from the IL coming out of the All-Star break, it's not clear if Ober will be ready to go for the first turn through the Minnesota rotation. The Twins may want Ober to first face hitters and/or complete a minor-league rehab start prior to activating him.

Twins' Quentin Young: Taken by Minnesota
The Twins have selected Young with the 53rd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
The 6-foot-5 Young is the nephew of Delmon and Dmitri Young and he has the loud tools to live up to that lineage. His 115.4 mph max exit velocity led all high school participants at the MLB Draft Combine, and his 33-degree average launch angle was one of the highest of the event. There may be some holes in his swing, which features several moving parts that will probably receive some maintenance in pro ball, so this is firmly a power-over-hit profile until further notice. Young also has one of the best arms among this year's prep position players, and he is likely to move off shortstop to either third base or right field. He is a good runner too, but it's possible he slows down as he fills out his projectable 215-pound frame.

Twins' Riley Quick: Going to Minnesota
The Twins have selected Quick with the 36th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
While many pitchers who were two-sport baseball/football athletes were quarterbacks in high school, Quick was actually a four-star recruit as an offensive lineman. The 6-foot-6, 255-pound righty from Alabama had Tommy John surgery in 2024 and logged a 3.92 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB in 62 innings this spring. His upper-90s sinker can touch 99 mph and his mid-80s slider is a second plus offering. Quick's changeup is a fine third pitch, but the results haven't been quite as good as his pure stuff would indicate. Given his lack of significant innings logged and his 8.9 percent walk rate this spring, there's plenty of bullpen risk even though Quick has the physical frame typically associated with an innings eater.

Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Holds Pirates in check
Woods Richardson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 loss against the Pirates, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings while striking out three.
The lone blemish on Woods Richardson's line came on a solo homer by Tommy Pham in the second inning, but he rebounded with back-to-back perfect frames in the third and fourth before being lifted shy of 80 pitches for the third straight start. The 24-year-old has been excellent lately, allowing one earned run or fewer in five of his last six starts while posting a 1.47 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 30.2 innings over that stretch. The right-hander will look to continue his impressive run after the All-Star break.

Twins' Marek Houston: Snagged by Minnesota
The Twins have selected Houston with the 16th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
A better real-life prospect than a fantasy one, Houston is considered one of, if not the best defensive shortstops in the draft. A three-year Wake Forest product, Houston hit 12 home runs in 119 games through his first two seasons before hitting 15 home runs as a junior. Even so, Houston probably won't ever hit 20 homers in the majors and may not hit 15 in a season. He hit over .320 as a sophomore (.326) and as a junior (.354), but his 15.4 percent strikeout rate and 46:46 K:BB as a junior does not portend a plus hit tool at the highest level. Houston stole 19 bases on 21 attempts this year, but he stole eight total bases his first two seasons and grades as an average-to-above-average runner. His most realistic path to providing fantasy value is that his defense at shortstop earns him everyday playing time and he chips in 15 steals while hitting in the bottom third of a lineup without hurting your batting average/OBP.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Hitting bench Sunday
Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Lee had picked up starts in each of the last three contests, but he'll take a seat for the series finale with the Pirates. Carlos Correa (ankle) will return from a one-game absence to start at shortstop, while super-utility man Willi Castro will step in at second base as Harrison Bader enters the starting nine in left field.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting for series finale
Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Jeffers will get a routine breather after he had started four of the Twins' previous five contests. Christian Vazquez will handle catching duties for Minnesota in the team's final game before the All-Star break.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Good to go Sunday
Correa (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.
The veteran shortstop sat out Saturday's 12-4 win after being removed from Friday's 2-1 victory due to a mild right ankle sprain, but he's back in action Sunday for the final game before the All-Star break. Correa is hitting .281 (9-for-32) through nine games in July, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and a .344 slugging percentage.

Twins' Kody Clemens: Hits third July homer
Clemens went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.
Clemens got the scoring started for the Twins with his third home run in July, a 389-foot, three-run blast that kickstarted a six-run second inning. The 29-year-old, who was claimed off waivers by the Twins earlier this year, continues to be a valuable power bat, as he's slashing .225/.306/.528 with 12 home runs and 26 RBI for Minnesota. With Luke Keaschall (forearm) getting closer to a return, it remains to be seen how much playing time Clemens gets on the other side of the All-Star break.

Twins' Matt Wallner: Homers in victory
Wallner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.
Wallner became the fifth Twin to join the double-digit homer club, launching a 434-foot bomb for the 10th of his season in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old has been incredibly boom-or-bust at the plate this season; he has a .207 batting average and a 29.6 percent strikeout rate but also a .756 OPS. He's still a long ways off from the .894 OPS he had in 75 games last season, so the power-hitting outfielder has some work to do to get his season more in line with his numbers in the past.

Twins' Willi Castro: Enjoys three-hit day
Castro went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and three RBI during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.
Castro picked up his first multi-hit game since July 3, notching at least three hits in a game for the fifth time this season. The super-utility player has enjoyed another great season at the plate, slashing .269/.361/.442 with 14 doubles, nine homers and 24 RBI. If he can keep up the pace for the rest of the season, his .803 OPS would be his best since becoming an everyday big leaguer in 2021.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Hits for the cycle
Buxton hit for the cycle, going 5-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.
After giving the Twins a scare when he was hit on the hand by a pitch earlier this week, Buxton has shown he's feeling 100 percent and then some. On Saturday, his bobblehead day, he gave the crowd at Target Field a show by hitting for the first cycle in the stadium's history and the first by a Twin since 2019. The 31-year-old's five-hit performance brought his slash line to .286/.350/.571 on the season to go along with 21 home runs, 55 RBI and 17 stolen bases. His .921 OPS is second amongst qualified MLB outfielders, trailing just Aaron Judge.
