GAME LOG
Guardians' puzzle maybe too complicated to solve: The week in baseball Injuries, brutal stretch-run schedule could keep Guardians from catching the Twins in the AL Central this year.
AUGUST 5, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM
Bailey Ober - Tosses five innings Ober yielded two runs on six hits over five innings in Friday's win against Arizona. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Ober coughed up a solo homer in the second inning and another run in the fourth. While the three strikeouts were his lowest total since June 2, he's turned in four straight starts without issuing a walk. Ober lowered his ERA to 3.21 alongside a 98:18 K:BB across 103.2 frames. He's projected to take the mound in Detroit next week.
AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jhoan Duran - Earns 20th save Duran allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning Friday, striking out one and earning a save over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Duran has been shaky recently but he's still converted three straight save chances. Over his last four appearances, he's given up six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks but was charged with just one blown save during that stretch. His season ERA still sits at 2.89 with a 59:18 K:BB through 43.2 frames.

Byron Buxton - Shut down two weeks Twins bench coach Jayce Tingler said Friday that Buxton (hamstring) will be shut down for the next two weeks, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Buxton was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to nagging tightness in his right hamstring that has since been diagnosed as a muscle strain. The team will see how he responds to the two-week shutdown period before attempting to map out a timetable for his return. Matt Wallner is serving as Minnesota's designated hitter Friday night against the Diamondbacks.
AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dallas Keuchel - Lined up to start Sunday Keuchel will make his Twins debut in a start Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Keuchel could get a long look in the Minnesota rotation as Joe Ryan spends at least a few weeks on the IL while recovering from a lingering groin strain. It's hard to know what to expect from Keuchel as a fantasy streaming option, but the veteran left-hander had pitched to an impressive 1.13 ERA with 28 strikeouts across 32 innings (six starts) for Triple-A St. Paul since inking a minor-league contract with the Twins on June 22.
AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Byron Buxton - Lands on IL with tight hamstring Buxton was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to August 2, with right hamstring tightness, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact This is the second IL stint of the year for Buxton, who missed 10 days in June because of a left rib contusion. Jordan Luplow, claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday afternoon, will fill the vacant spot on the Twins' active major-league roster ahead of their three-game weekend series against the Diamondbacks.
AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Byron Buxton - Remains sidelined Friday Buxton (hamstring) is again absent from the lineup Friday versus Arizona.
Impact Buxton missed the final two games of the Twins' three-game series in St. Louis because of right hamstring tightness and he'll remain on the bench as Minnesota opens a three-game weekend set against the visiting Diamondbacks. Matt Wallner is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth.

Brock Stewart - Moved to 60-day IL Stewart (elbow) was transferred Friday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
Impact Jordan Luplow, claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday, will fill the vacated spot on the Twins' 40-man roster. Stewart has been out since late June due to right elbow tendinitis and just recently resumed throwing off a mound.
AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Luplow - Claimed by Minnesota Minnesota claimed Luplow off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Luplow was a 40-man roster casualty in Toronto following the trade-deadline acquisition of Paul DeJong. The 29-year-old showed some encouraging flashes with Cleveland between 2019-2021, but he has slashed just .178/.279/.352 over his last 251 major-league plate appearances dating back to the beginning of the 2022 season.
AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Paddack - Gearing up to face live hitters Paddack (elbow) is on track to begin facing live hitters in mid-August, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Impact Paddack is about 14 months removed from his second career Tommy John surgery and has been throwing bullpen sessions without issue since the beginning of June. The 27-year-old right-hander could potentially be an option for the Twins' pitching staff sometime in September if all continues to go smoothly with his throwing program.

Ryan Jeffers - Launches sixth home run Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Cardinals.
Impact Jeffers opened the scoring Thursday with a two-run blast off Matthew Liberatore in the second inning. The 26-year-old backstop has been swinging the bat well, going 10-for-25 (.400) with two homers and a 1.144 OPS over his last eight games. Jeffers' hot stretch has granted him an increased role in Minnesota -- he's now started over Christian Vasquez in three of the Twins' last five contests. Overall, Jeffers is slashing an impressive .281/.385/.455 with six homers, 26 runs scored, 18 RBI and three steals across 199 plate appearances this season.
