Cole Sands - Starting rehab assignment Twins manager Derek Shelton said Monday that Sands (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Theodore Tollefson of Zone Coverage reports.

Impact Sands hasn't pitched in more than a month as he recovers from a right forearm strain, but he'll be ready to take a big step forward Tuesday. He will likely require at least a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the active roster. Once he does return, Sands should be thrown back into the late-inning mix as part of an unsettled Twins bullpen.

Zebby Matthews - Falls to Pittsburgh Matthews (1-3) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact It was a rough day for Matthews, who gave up seven runs in his third straight loss. The 26-year-old right-hander had been pitching well coming into the day, posting quality starts in his first three major-league outings this year while posting a 2.37 ERA across 19 innings. Matthews' ERA shot up to 4.63 following Sunday's outing, though he still sports a solid 1.03 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB across 23.1 innings. Matthews will look to rebound in his next start, currently scheduled to come next week at home against the Royals.

Twins put RHP Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation

The Minnesota Twins have put right-hander Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation

Mike Paredes - Contract selected The Twins selected Paredes' contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact Paredes has mostly operated as a starter for St. Paul with 10 starts in 13 appearances this year, but he'll likely work as a long reliever while up with the Twins. The 25-year-old has a 4.44 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB across 48.2 innings at Triple-A this year.

Travis Adams - Rejoins big club The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was optioned to St. Paul after Thursday's loss to the White Sox but will quickly return to the big-league roster since Bailey Ober (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Adams has struggled in seven MLB appearances this year with a 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 10 innings.

John Klein - Sent to Triple-A The Twins optioned Klein to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was called up Saturday by Minnesota and will return to St. Paul after firing two scoreless frames against Pittsburgh. Across his two stints in the majors this year, Klein has given up two earned runs with 2:4 K:BB in three appearances (4.1 innings).

Byron Buxton - Resting up Sunday Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With the Twins wrapping up their series in Pittsburgh with a day game, Buxton is likely just getting a planned maintenance day after he recently missed time due to a sore right hip flexor. Since returning to the lineup May 19, Buxton has made all but one of his 10 starts at designated hitter and has gone 10-for-39 (.256 average) with two home runs, three doubles, four RBI and seven runs. The Twins haven't indicated when Buxton might be ready to play center field on a full-time basis, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable with keeping him active while he's still seeing regular at-bats at DH.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

James Outman - Playing time drying up Outman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Outman made seven consecutive starts in the outfield from May 14 through May 20, but he's seen his playing time fall by the wayside since Byron Buxton moved past the sore hip flexor that had kept him out of the lineup for five consecutive games. Buxton has been limited primarily to the designated-hitter role over the last two weeks, but the Twins have been leaning more frequently on Kody Clemens rather than Outman to replace him in the outfield lately. Outman will remain on the bench Sunday for the eighth time in 10 games.
