GAME LOG
Chris Paddack - Set for Aug. 27 MRI Paddack (forearm) has started playing catch but will undergo another MRI on Aug. 27 before taking the next step, MLB.com reports.
Impact Paddack has been out since July 14 due to a right forearm strain. While he has started some activity, the fact he won't do much more before Aug. 27 makes it seem unlikely that he'd be able to begin a rehab assignment before September. It sounds like he may return in late September in a best-case scenario. The Twins may look to use him as a reliever in the playoffs like last year as a result.

Byron Buxton - Gets cortisone shot Buxton recently received a cortisone shot in his injured hip, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Buxton's right hip inflammation appears to be caused by scar tissue from a similar injury he suffered in 2022, said Twins head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. He should be able to increase his activity in the next few days. The Twins sound optimistic that he'll be able to return from the IL when first eligible, but Buxton has been slow to return from similar injuries in the past.

Justin Topa - Setback while playing catch Topa (elbow) had a setback when he experienced soreness while playing catch, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Topa missed the first four months of the season due to a tear in the patellar tendon of his left knee. He began a rehab assignment July 23 but was shut down Aug. 10 due to right elbow inflammation. It seems unlikely that he'll be able to return from the injured list before the regular season ends.

Brooks Lee - Begins swinging bat Lee (shoulder) has started swinging a bat from the right side and could begin throwing this weekend and swinging from the left side Monday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Lee went on the injured list Aug. 9 with right biceps tendinitis. He later had a cortisone shot for the injury. It sounds like he'll start ramping up activity the next week, but it's not clear how long it will take him before he could begin a rehab assignment.

Joe Ryan - Exam confirms shoulder issue A second opinion on Ryan's shoulder showed a Grade 2 teres major strain, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The examination by prominent sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache confirmed the initial diagnosis that will likely sideline Ryan for the rest of the regular season. The Twins haven't ruled out Ryan's return, but manager Manager Rocco Baldelli previously said that Ryan's recovery will take "weeks to months."

Carlos Correa - Runs full speed Correa (heel) ran full speed for the first time in a week Thursday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "We need to get him to where he's comfortable running on a daily basis, no...
Impact Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. It initially didn't appear he would be out long, but he still experienced pain in his heel in early August when jogging. It sounds like he's ramped up his activity in recent days, but there's still no timetable for when he may begin a rehab assignment.

Jhoan Duran - Secures 18th save Duran allowed a hit and struck out two during a perfect inning to earn a save against the Rangers on Friday.
Impact Duran worked around a two-out single to close out the 4-3 victory. He converted the save with just 13 pitches and is now 18 for 19 in save opportunities this season. Since his lone blown save chance in Oakland on June 21, Duran is 3-2 with seven saves and a 2.60 ERA through 19 appearances. For the year, he owns a 3.35 ERA and a 43:12 K:BB across 40.1 innings.

Simeon Woods Richardson - Earns fourth win Woods Richardson (4-3) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Friday, striking out one and earning a win over Texas.
Impact Woods Richardson gave up one run through four innings before Marcus Semien tagged him with a solo shot in the fifth. Woods Richardson has thrown five or fewer frames in three of his last four outings, producing a 6.05 ERA during that span. Friday's win was his first since June 26 despite recording only one punchout, matching his season low. Woods Richardson is sporting a 3.77 ERA with a 92:33 K:BB through 21 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be in San Diego.
