2024 MLB free agents: Whose stock is up, down from Shohei Ohtani to Julio UrĂ­as

Torkelson homers twice against the Twins again, leading the Tigers to an 8-7 victory

Spencer Torkelson homered twice against Minnesota for the second time in a week, and the Detroit Tigers survived a late scare for an 8-7 victory over the Twins
AUGUST 16, 2023 • Associated Press
Two of Twins' best in last two months are players we wanted them to dump Max Kepler and Emilio Pagán were going nowhere in mid-June, and Twins fans were wondering why they were still on the roster. Now it's hard t...

Dallas Keuchel - Pushed back to Sunday Keuchel's next start for the Twins will come Sunday against the Pirates, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Keuchel will get another start after being roughed up by the Phillies his last time out, but he'll be pitching on eight days' rest as the Twins take advantage of off days to push him back. Joe Ryan (groin) is slated for a rehab start this weekend, so it's possible this will be Keuchel's last chance to show he should stick around.

Byron Buxton likely out of the Twins lineup until September Byron Buxton has been on the injured list since Aug. 4 because of a right hamstring strain. He's throwing, hitting and taking ground balls b...

Carlos Correa - Sitting Wednesday due to soreness Correa's absence from the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers is a result of him feeling sore after he legged out an infield single in the sixth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 win, Dan Ha...
Impact Correa didn't appear to be in too much pain after he reached first on the base hit, as he was able to stay in the game and play the full nine innings. The Twins haven't provided much clarity on the source of Correa's soreness, but the injury could be related to his foot, given that he's been playing through plantar fasciitis for multiple months. Regardless, Correa isn't believed to be dealing with anything significant, and the Twins believe that after a maintenance day Wednesday followed by a team off day Thursday, the 28-year-old will be good to go for Friday's series opener versus the Pirates.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jhoan Duran - Notches 22nd save Duran picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Detroit. He allowed a solo home run and a single while striking out two in the ninth inning.
Impact The 25-year-old closer served up a solo homer to Spencer Torkelson and a base hit to Kerry Carpenter before striking out Zach McKinstry to end the game. Duran is now 10-for-11 in second-half save chances despite a 5.11 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 12.1 innings during that stretch.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael A. Taylor - Gets rest Wednesday Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact With Willi Castro (oblique) landing on the injured list Tuesday, Taylor looks like he'll have a clear path to regular duties in center field. Though he'll sit Wednesday in favor of Joey Gallo, Taylor had manned center in each of the last four contests, going 3-for-15 with a walk and a stolen base.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Jeffers - Heads to bench Wednesday Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Jeffers will hit the bench after he went 4-for-21 with four walks while starting each of the last six games at either catcher or designated hitter. Though he appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the Twins' top backstop, Christian Vazquez will get the nod behind the plate for the series finale.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Edouard Julien - Back in action Wednesday Julien (hamstring) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Julien sat out Tuesday's 5-3 win due to the hamstring injury, but the day off was apparently all he needed to move past the issue. He'll settle back in as the Twins' table setter in the series finale after previously batting ninth in his most recent start Sunday against the Phillies.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Carlos Correa - Resting again Wednesday Correa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Impact The Twins haven't indicated that Correa is nursing an injury, but he'll remain on the bench for the second time in three games after he previously received a day off in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Phillies. Correa returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 5-3 win over Detroit and went 1-for-3 with a run scored, but he'll give way to Kyle Farmer at shortstop in the day game after a night game.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Floro - Earns win in relief Floro (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Tigers. He allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless sixth inning.
Impact Floro was the beneficiary of Minnesota's five-run, sixth-inning outburst, earning the win after tossing a scoreless frame. The 32-year-old reliever tallied seven saves and nine holds for Miami, but has served in a less-prominent bullpen role since being traded to the Twins on July 26. Floro sports a 4.40 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB across 45 innings this season.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Royce Lewis - Gets aboard twice in return Lewis went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over Detroit.
Impact Lewis served as Minnesota's third baseman and batted third in his return from an oblique injury that sidelined him for over six weeks. The 24-year-old got the Twins on the board in the sixth inning with an RBI single and later drew a walk. Lewis should continue to see regular playing time down the stretch due to his prospect pedigree and versatility.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Wallner - Blasts grand slam in win Wallner went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Detroit.
Impact The 25-year-old outfielder delivered the decisive blow Tuesday by launching a center-cut fastball from Will Vest over the right-center field fence for a 450-foot grand slam. Wallner's long ball capped off a five-run rally in the sixth inning and gave Minnesota a 5-2 lead. The rookie has displayed an impressive power surge since being recalled from Triple-A on July 17, tallying eight home runs in just 85 at-bats. However, the same 27-game stretch has revealed some concerns about Wallner's plate discipline, as he has a 33.3% strikeout rate and a 7.3% walk rate.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bailey Ober - Adequate in no-decision Ober did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out six.
Impact Ober scattered five hits but issued three walks, which tied a season-high. The 28-year-old allowed two runs, which both came on Miguel Cabrera's 509th career home run in the second inning. After a stellar first half, Ober has struggled in his six starts since the All-Star break, posting a 5.52 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP despite an impressive 34:4 K:BB across 31 innings during that span. He is currently lined up to face the Brewers on the road early next week.
