Ryan Kreidler - Crushes fifth homer in win Kreidler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Colorado.

Impact Kreidler's lone hit proved to be the difference, as he launched a 421-foot solo homer to straightaway center field in the seventh inning to give Minnesota a 3-2 lead it wouldn't relinquish. The 28-year-old has been a surprisingly productive contributor, particularly of late, going 14-for-35 (.400) with two homers, 10 RBI and seven runs scored over his past 15 appearances. On the year, the utility man is slashing .290/.365/.527 with five homers, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored across 104 plate appearances while emerging as a top option at shortstop, largely outplaying Tristan Gray.

Yoendrys Gómez - Records eighth save Gomez picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies. He pitched a perfect inning without recording a strikeout.

Impact Following an Anthony Banda hit-by-pitch to open the ninth inning, Gomez entered and retired the side without any trouble to secure his eighth save of the season. The right-hander has been stellar of late, not allowing a hit across 6.1 scoreless innings over his past six outings while recording three saves during that stretch. The 26-year-old has been great since joining the Twins on May 6, posting a 1.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB with seven saves across 21.2 innings for Minnesota while emerging as the club's top option in the ninth inning.

Connor Prielipp - Fans 10 in no-decision Prielipp did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out 10.

Impact Prielipp brought his best swing-and-miss stuff, generating 20 whiffs while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. In addition, Sunday marked the southpaw's first outing without issuing a walk since his debut April 22, though he did hit two batters. The 25-year-old has cooled off since a blazing start to his big-league career, but his performance against the Rockies was an encouraging step in the right direction. Overall, Prielipp owns a 2-5 record with a 4.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 61.2 innings (12 starts). He'll look to build on it next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday on the road against the Yankees.

Bailey Ober - Starts up rehab assignment Ober (elbow) struck out one batter and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and no walks over 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with High-A Cedar Rapids.

Impact After completing a throwing progression, Ober was cleared to kick off a rehab assignment Sunday. Per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com, the Twins were planning for Ober to throw around 50 pitches in his first game action since May 30. He ended up narrowly exceeding that limit, spotting 38 of his 57 pitches for strikes in the rehab outing. Ober will likely need at least one more appearance in the minors to get further stretched out, but he appears on pace to return from the 15-day injured list shortly before the All-Star break. Ober has been on the shelf since June 1 due to a right flexor strain.

Hendry Mendez - Recovers from shoulder issue Mendez (shoulder) has gone 3-for-6 with an RBI in two games for Triple-A St. Paul since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Impact Mendez missed just over two weeks of action due to a left shoulder impingement. The 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .314/.408/.485 with eight home runs and four stolen bases over 54 games between St. Paul and Double-A Wichita this season.

Kaelen Culpepper - Returns to Triple-A lineup Culpepper (hip) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his return to the Triple-A St. Paul lineup in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Louisville after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Impact Culpepper returned to action for St. Paul after missing the past two weeks while recovering from a left hip strain. He was eased back into the lineup at designated hitter, but Culpepper should return to an everyday role at shortstop before long. The 23-year-old appeared to be gaining momentum for a promotion to Minnesota prior to getting hurt, but after the recent injury, Culpepper may need to heat back up at the dish before the Twins revisit the idea of calling him up from Triple-A.

Josh Bell - Receiving rest Sunday Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The Twins will hold Bell out of the starting nine for the second Sunday in a row in what amounts to a planned rest day. Byron Buxton will get a day off from playing center field but will stick in the starting nine as Bell's replacement at designated hitter.

Tristan Gray - Back on bench Sunday Gray is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Gray had started each of the Twins' last three games and went 4-for-11 with a double and two runs during that stretch, but he'll cede shortstop to Ryan Kreidler in the series finale. Minnesota has yet to commit to either player as its full-time shortstop, and manager Derek Shelton may be content to ride the hotter bat between the two players.

Victor Caratini - Receiving breather Sunday Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
