Bell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Bell built off of his last performance, going deep for the second consecutive game with a solo home run in the ninth inning. His shot was part of back-to-back homers that blew the game open, with Bell's homer extending the lead to four and putting things out of reach. The 33-year-old has quickly emerged as a strong point in this Twins lineup, leading the team in RBI through the early stretch. That production has been especially important for a Minnesota offense that struggled last season, finishing 25th in total offense.

Clemens went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Thursday's 5-1 win against the Royals.

Clemens showed out at the plate, reaching base three times after having gotten on in just two of his first 10 plate appearances entering Thursday. The 29-year-old added insurance in the ninth inning with his first home run of the season, a 391-foot solo shot off Steven Cruz that extended the Twins' lead to three runs. Thursday's performance seemed to reinforce the confidence that Clemens built during his 2025 breakout campaign, when he posted a .715 OPS with 19 home runs across 386 plate appearances.

Ragans (0-2) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

Ragans turned in a strong outing and bounced back nicely from his rough season debut, but was tagged with the loss due to a defensive miscue and limited run support. The southpaw's lone blemish came in the second inning when a pickoff attempt by Salvador Perez sailed high and deflected into center field, allowing a run to score. Ragans otherwise kept Minnesota in check, limiting hard contact while once again racking up the strikeouts bumping his season total up to 13 across 10 innings. After injuries sidelined the 28-year-old for much of last season, Thursday's performance was an encouraging one and Ragans will look to replicate the success he found in his next scheduled start against Cleveland.

Bradley (1-0) earned the win Thursday against the Royals, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out three over six scoreless innings.

Bradley worked through a few early threats but managed to keep Kansas City off the board, showcasing his ability to pitch out of trouble. The right-hander's biggest moment came in the third inning, when he rebounded from a dropped foul popup by striking out Bobby Witt Jr. with a 100 mph fastball -- the hardest pitch thrown by a Twins starter in the pitch-tracking era -- to escape the jam. The 25-year-old also limited free passes, issuing just one walk, which helped him stay efficient and reach the six-inning mark. Coming off of a season where he posted a 5.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 127 strikeouts over 142.2 innings, Bradley is off to a red hot start in 2026 and continues to justify Minnesota's decision to acquire him at last year's trade deadline.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-2 win over the Mets on Thursday.

Devers accounted for the final run of the contest with a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning -- his first homer and first RBI of the season. The slugger now has three multi-hit games across seven contests, though he's also gone hitless three times. Overall, Devers is slashing .259/.333/.407 through 30 plate appearances.

Susac went 3-for-3 with a walk Thursday in a 7-2 win against the Mets.

Susac won the Giants' backup catcher role in spring training, but this was the first time he had an opportunity to start (he did enter as a defensive replacement Wednesday). Susac singled in his first MLB plate appearance in the second inning and went on to reach three more times on two additional singles and a walk. Patrick Bailey is entrenched as San Francisco's starting catcher, so Susac probably isn't going to see extensive playing time.

Peterson (0-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.

The Mets gave Peterson a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but he quickly gave that back plus more, as the Giants responded with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. Things didn't get any better for Peterson from there -- he yielded two more runs in the third and was charged with one more following his departure in the fifth. Peterson did manage to fan five batters, but his overall line was pretty destructive for fantasy managers who deployed him. This was certainly a letdown for Peterson after he shut out Pittsburgh across 5.1 innings during his season debut March 28.

Tidwell earned a save against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over three scoreless innings.

Tidwell was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of the contest and ended up covering the final three innings for the Giants. The right-hander breezed through his outing, holding New York without a hit while throwing 24 of 37 pitches for strikes. He was rewarded with his first career save, though there's no reason to expect additional save opportunities to come his way given that he'll likely be deployed in middle and long relief.

Ray (1-1) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings.

Ray gave up a run in each of the first and second frames, but he settled down from there and ended his outing by retiring seven of the final eight batters he faced. The left-hander wasn't all that efficient -- he needed 96 pitches to complete 5.1 innings -- but looked dominant at times, racking up a hefty 19 swings-and-misses and seven punchouts. Ray has been solid to begin the campaign, allowing four runs while posting an 11:3 K:BB over his first 10.2 innings across two starts.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, a walk, three total runs and three total RBI in a 17-2 win against Arizona on Thursday.

Olson kicked off the scoring in the contest with a first-inning, 430-foot solo shot -- his first long ball of the campaign. He later produced an RBI double as part of an eight-run fifth frame for Atlanta and added another RBI double in the ninth. Olson had been having a quiet beginning to the campaign prior to Thursday, but he's now slashing a nice-looking .321/.367/.571 with five RBI and five runs through seven games.
