GAME LOG
Carlos Correa - Expects to play Monday Correa (finger) expects to be in the lineup Monday versus the White Sox, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.
Impact Correa exited Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston with a bruised right finger in the first inning, but he explained to Martin after the game that he doesn't expect the injury to sideline him moving forward. The shortstop will look to bring his expectation to fruition in Monday's series opener on the road against the White Sox.

Josh Winder - Optioned to Triple-A Winder was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.
Impact Winder was called up Friday, appearing in the team's 13-12 loss to Houston, pitching two innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits while striking out two batters. The right-hander will now have to wait for his next chance to join the major-league roster while the vacancy he leaves behind with the big-league club is expected to be filled by Chris Paddack (arm).

Twins vs. White Sox Prediction, Odds, Picks - July 8
Carlos Correa - Dealing with bruised finger Correa had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a right finger contusion after exiting Sunday's game against the Astros, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.
Impact Correa was struck by 96-mph pitch during the opening frame of Sunday's contest but appears to have avoided a serious injury. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the White Sox.

Carlos Correa - Departs after HBP Correa was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after being hit by a pitch in the right hand, Aaron Gleeman of The Athleticreports.
Impact The 29-year-old was plunked in the bottom of the first inning and quickly exited the contest after being looked at by an athletic trainer. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Correa seems likely to be headed for X-rays.
JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Miranda - Resting after hitting streak ends Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Miranda will get a breather for the series finale after he went recorded a pair of base hits and was hit by a pitch before flying out in his final at-bat of Saturday's 9-3 win. The flyout ended a streak of 13 consecutive plate appearances in which he got on base and 12 consecutive at-bats with a hit, the latter of which tied an MLB record. Miranda still has a 10-game active hitting streak, which he'll presumably put on hold Sunday before he likely returns to the lineup for Monday's series opener against the White Sox.
JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Jeffers - Taking seat Sunday Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact Jeffers has moved into a timeshare with Christian Vazquez, as neither of the two has started consecutive games since Jeffers served as a designated hitter June 1 in Houston before working behind the plate a day later in the series finale. It'll be Vazquez's turn to catch Sunday after Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win.

Emmanuel Rodriguez - Begins rehab assignment Rodriguez (thumb) began a rehab assignment with Minnesota's FCL team and went 4-for-6 with three doubles in his first game games Friday and Saturday.
Impact Rodriguez sustained a thumb injury June 5 while sliding into second base on a double. The 21-year-old prospect had been tearing it up in Double-A this season, slashing .298/.479/.621 with eight home runs and 20 RBI over 167 plate appearances.
JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Wallner - Officially called up The Twins recalled Wallner from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 26-year-old was demoted to St. Paul in mid-April after going 2-for-25 with 17 strikeouts to begin the campaign for the Twins, and he struggled early on at Triple-A with a .465 OPS in his first 11 games. Wallner turned things around from there and is now rejoining the Twins after he posted a 1.143 OPS with 12 homers in 29 games for St. Paul since June 1. Minnesota's starting outfield of Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton and Max Kepler are currently healthy, so Wallner may not come by regular starting opportunities.
JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Martin - Out with oblique strain The Twins placed Martin on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a strained right oblique, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's unclear when the 25-year-old suffered the oblique strain, but he hasn't played much in July with just six plate appearances through the first week of the month. Martin will be eligible to return for the start of the second half July 20. Matt Wallner was called up in a corresponding move to provide Minnesota with some outfield depth.

Jose Miranda - Ties major-league record in win Miranda went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.
Impact Miranda hit an RBI single in the second inning and then tied a major-league record in the fourth by recording a hit in his 12th consecutive at-bat. It's safe to say Miranda has been on fire, registering his third consecutive multi-hit effort and extending his overall hit streak to 10 games. He has enjoyed a major bounceback campaign in 2024, slashing .328/.370/.531 with nine home runs, 43 RBI and 35 runs scored over 262 plate appearances.

Byron Buxton - Homer, two hits in win Buxton went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.
Impact Buxton singled and scored in the third inning and then hit a two-run homer in the seventh. Over the past 10 games, he has gone a ridiculous 16-for-37 with five long balls, 14 RBI and 13 runs scored. The 30-year-old is enjoying a solid bounceback season, slashing .271/.324/.485 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, 38 runs scored and five steals over 250 plate appearances.

Brooks Lee - Hits first career homer in win Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.
Impact Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning for his first career major-league home run. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running with the Twins, going 7-for-15 with a home run and six RBI over his first four games. While it is unclear exactly how much time Royce Lewis (groin) will miss, the rookie has made the most of his time in the big-leagues so far.
