Brooks Lee - Smacks grand slam Sunday Lee went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Lee blasted his first grand slam of the season to match a season high in RBI on Sunday. The switch-hitting infielder has hit safely in six of his last seven games and logged multiple knocks four times over that span. Through 478 plate appearances, Lee is slashing a career-best .245/.300/.424 with 18 homers, 66 RBI, seven stolen bases and 54 runs scored.

Dean Kremer - Falls apart in sixth inning Kremer took a no-decision against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact It was smooth sailing for Kremer on Sunday until the sixth inning, when the Phillies plated four runs to spoil his otherwise strong outing prior to that point. The right-hander has been a solid addition to Minnesota's rotation overall since coming over at the trade deadline, delivering a 3.12 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB over his first 17.1 innings for the Twins. Kremer is set to carry a season 5.40 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB across 53.1 frames into a tough road matchup in San Diego.

Alex Jackson - Passes through waivers The Twins outrighted Jackson to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Impact Jackson ended up clearing waivers after the Twins designated him for assignment Thursday. Since the 30-year-old catcher has been DFA'd before, he'll have the option of electing free agency if he prefers not to report to St. Paul. Before losing his spot on the 40-man roster, Jackson logged 69 plate appearances with the Twins and slashed .303/.333/.409 with one home run, five RBI and 11 runs.

Austin Martin - Strains hamstring Sunday Twins manager Derek Shelton said that Martin sustained a left hamstring strain in the eighth inning of Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies and will be sent in for an MRI, Aaron Gleem...

Impact Martin didn't start but entered Sunday's contest in the top of the eighth as a defensive replacement in left field for Trevor Larnach. With one out in the frame, Martin appeared to pull up lame while pursuing a Luis Arraez line drive down the left-field line, prompting the Twins to pull him from the game immediately. Shelton said the MRI will clarify the severity of Martin's hamstring strain, but even a mild injury could be enough to send the outfielder to the injured list.

Alan Roden - Fades into reserve role Roden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Though he produced a three-hit effort in his most recent start during Wednesday's win over the Orioles, Roden has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the lineup following Byron Buxton's return from the injured list Thursday. Roden will hit the bench for a third straight game while the Twins go with Trevor Larnach, Buxton and Luke Keaschall as their starting outfield trio from left to right.

Ryan Kreidler - Moving into utility role Kreidler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Kreidler will hit the bench for the third time in five games and looks as though he'll have to settle for more of a part-time utility role after the Twins promoted shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 7. Though he had been swinging a hot bat earlier in the season for Minnesota, Kreidler has fallen back to earth in the second half, slashing just .178/.200/.260 with a 25.3 percent strikeout rate in 25 games since the All-Star break.

Connor Prielipp - Shelled in fifth inning Prielipp (3-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact It was perhaps a season-worst outing by Prielipp, who surrendered seven of his season-high eight runs in a disastrous fifth inning. The left-hander has delivered mixed results at best lately, fanning at least five while tossing at least five innings in five consecutive starts but has given up fewer than three runs just once during that span. Prielipp will bring a 5.34 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 94:36 K:BB over 87.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in San Diego.
