Anthony Banda - Undergoes season-ending surgery Banda underwent surgery to repair his left lat strain and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Banda last pitched June 28 and was placed on the 15-day injured list 11 days ago. He expects to be ready for the start of spring training in February. The lefty reliever appeared in 39 games out of the bullpen for Minnesota this season and registered a 4.46 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 34.1 innings.

Zebby Matthews - In clear to start Friday Matthews (foot) is slated to start Friday's game against the Angels at Target Field.

Impact Matthews was forced out of his previous start last Saturday against the Yankees due to a right foot laceration, but he was apparently able to make it though his bullpen session earlier this week without incident and won't have to miss a turn through the rotation. Since tying a season high by allowing seven earned runs in a June 11 outing versus the Tigers, Matthews has enjoyed a strong run of form over his subsequent four starts, posting a 3.28 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB in 24.2 innings.

Connor Prielipp - Sent to IL with blister The Twins placed Prielipp on the 15-day injured list Friday with a blister on his left middle finger.

Impact Prielipp started Wednesday's game against the Guardians but didn't factor into the decision after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across five innings. The rookie has a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 66.2 innings. He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break.

Kendry Rojas - Back with big club The Twins recalled Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Impact The 23-year-old rejoins the big club after he was dispatched to St. Paul late last month. Rojas has appeared in six games for the Twins this season, making a pair of starts, and has produced a 1.65 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 16.1 innings. Rojas hasn't thrown since July 3 and could be an option to start Friday if Zebby Matthews (foot) is unable to make his scheduled start.

Bailey Ober - Activated for start Thursday The Twins activated Ober (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Ober has been sidelined since May 30 with a right flexor strain, but he'll take the mound Thursday against Cleveland after making a pair of rehab starts. The right-hander is 6-3 with a 4.59 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB across 66.2 innings this season.

Alan Roden - Walk-off in season debut Roden went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win against Cleveland.

Impact Roden barreled a walk-off single off the wall in center-field in his season debut for the Twins. The 26-year-old was promoted yesterday to play in the outfield in the wake of the Byron Buxton (hip) injury. The lefty hit well in the minors this season, slashing .272/.397/.512 with eight home runs and a 24:25 BB:K in 33 games with St. Paul.

Connor Prielipp - No-decision in win Prielipp did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact After his 10 strikeout performance last start, Prielipp was not as efficient this game as he only got through five innings (49 of 83 pitches as strikes) after three straight six inning outings. Prielipp has struggled to settle in to the rotation in his rookie season, with a 5.15 ERA and a 60:22 K:BB minus his first two starts. The 25-year-old is not scheduled to start again before the All-Star game.
