The Twins optioned Fedko to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Fedko was with the big club for nearly a month, but he received just four starts and failed to pick up his first major-league hit. The Twins will announced a corresponding roster move before Friday's contest against the Angels.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

Naylor, who extended his hitting streak to five games Thursday, now has three stolen bases in his last two games. He's up to 18 steals in 21 attempts this year, putting him well in range to pass his career-high of 30 set last season. At the plate, Naylor's managed a .251/.312/.353 slash line with eight homers, 36 RBI and 34 runs scored across 375 plate appearances.

Canzone went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins.

Canzone cut Miami's lead to 8-4 in the eighth inning with a 421-foot blast off William Kempner, his 15th homer this season. Canzone, who's been batting third of late in Seattle's order as their regular DH against right-handed pitching, has gone 6-for-22 with two homers and five RBI in his last five games. Overall, he's slashing .269/.341/.543 with 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and a steal across 246 plate appearances.

Foscue went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in a 7-6 win against the Angels on Thursday.

Foscue logged his first hit with a 429-foot solo homer in the fourth inning and added an RBI on a ground-rule double in the sixth. The infielder has been swinging the bat well when given the opportunity of late, producing four multi-hit performances and a .409 average with three homers, three doubles and nine RBI across his past eight contests. He's struggled to get playing time, however, as Thursday marked his first start over the Rangers' past five games.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 7-6 win against the Angels on Thursday.

Nimmo began the scoring with a solo homer off Reid Detmers in the first inning. He then beefed up his line with a single, stolen base and run scored in the third. Nimmo had been struggling coming into Thursday, going just 1-for-13 across four contests since returning to the lineup July 4 following a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He's produced a decent .257/.328/.416 slash line through 87 contests but has just nine home runs, 31 RBI and four thefts, well below the pace for his usual marks in those areas.

Schanuel went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, a run and two RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

Schanuel was the star of the Angels offense Thursday, posting four of the team's 10 total hits, including both of the club's extra-base knocks. His seventh-inning single plated two runs as part of a five-run rally that resulted in a tie game, but Texas ultimately came away with a walk-off win. Schanuel was in need of a big performance -- he entered Thursday having gone just 1-for-11 over his previous three games and was batting a meager .211 across his past 10 contests.

O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

O'Neill opened the scoring by leading off the second inning with a solo homer off David Peterson. After managing just two long balls through his first 52 games this season, the veteran outfielder has caught fire with four home runs over his last five contests. Despite the recent surge, he closes in on the All-Star break with what would be career lows across the board, slashing .196/.296/.358.

Detmers allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over four innings in a no-decision against Texas on Thursday.

Detmers gave up a solo homer to Brandon Nimmo in the first inning, setting the tone for what would be a rough night for the left-hander. He was taken deep again in both of the third and fourth innings and was lifted after throwing 82 pitches across four frames. Detmers did manage six punchouts to at least give his fantasy managers something to find solace in, but the rough outing continued what has been a very up-and-down campaign. The 26-year-old began June looking brilliant in allowing just one run while posting an 18:2 K:BB over 20 innings across three starts, but since then he's given up exactly five runs in three of his subsequent four starts to push his season ERA up to a mediocre 4.39.

Eovaldi struck out 10 batters and allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over six-plus innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Thursday.

Eovaldi carried a 6-1 lead into the seventh inning but saw all three batters he faced in that frame reach base on a catcher's interference, a walk and a single. That allowed a run to cross the plate and led to his removal, and both of the runners he turned over to the bullpen also eventually came home to score. It was a disappointing finish for the veteran hurler, but he was still credited with a quality start and was impressive in racking up 23 whiffs en route to a season-high 10 punchouts. Eovaldi has given up three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts and has tallied a standout 43:6 K:BB across 31 innings during that span. Overall this season, he ranks 12th in MLB with 120 strikeouts while recording a 4.04 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 111.1 frames spanning 18 starts.

McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

McKinstry provided Detroit with some breathing room in the fifth inning, launching a two-run homer off Jack Perkins for his fourth long ball of the season. Over his last 11 games, the infielder is batting .295 (13-for-44) while raising his season batting average by 25 points during that stretch.
