Soto was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids due to soreness in his right triceps, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Soto was off to a promising start at Cedar Rapids with a 1.38 ERA and 15:5 K:BB in 13 innings. The Twins will be hoping it's not a significant setback for the 2024 first-round pick out of high school.

Robert went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a steal in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

Robert and Andrew Benintendi went back-to-back against Freddy Peralta in the opening frame for the White Sox's only two runs of the game. Robert now has two homers in his last three games and has recorded a hit and a walk in each of his last four. He's been active on the basepaths as well with four steals over his last three games. Robert still only has one game with multiple hits this season and is batting .158 for the year.

Gilbert allowed one run on one hit and a walk while striking out three in two innings Tuesday against the Brewers. He did not factor into the decision.

Gilbert surrendered a solo home run to Isaac Collins in the first but responded with three strikeouts over the final four outs he recorded. Tuesday marked the third time Gilbert has opened in nine appearances this season. He's posted strong strikeout numbers with 14 over 9.2 innings but also owns an unsightly 5.59 ERA.

Polanco went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

The 31-year-old carried the M's offense with his second two-homer performance in the last three games, as he took Jack Kochanowicz deep in the second inning for a three-run blast before teeing off on a Jose Fermin sinker in the seventh. Polanco may be the hottest hitter in baseball right now, going 10-for-20 over his last six games with two doubles, six long balls and 13 RBI, and his 1.242 OPS is the highest in the majors among players with at least 75 plate appearances.

Munoz struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 11th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Angels.

The right-hander remains tied with the Padres' Robert Suarez atop the major-league leaderboard in saves. Munoz has reeled off 15 straight scoreless appearances to begin the season, posting a 19:6 K:BB through 15 innings, and he's already halfway to matching the career-high 22 saves he collected in 2024.

Miller (2-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Angels, giving up two hits and five walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out six.

The 26-year-old right-hander continues to fight his control, even though he was able to avoid any damage from his walks Tuesday. The five free passes were a season high for Miller, and after posting a 6.4 percent walk rate in 2024, he's seen that mark balloon to 14.7 percent through six starts and 30.2 innings this year. His 3.52 ERA is still decent on the surface, but his 1.43 WHIP and 4.44 xFIP are red flags that his luck could run out soon. Miller will try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the A's.

O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

The slugging backstop got the Halos on the board when he took Carlos Vargas deep in the seventh inning. O'Hoppe is up to eight homers on the season, including three in the last five games, but those are his only hits over that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .259/.292/.553 with 11 runs and 13 RBI in 24 contests.

Kochanowicz (1-4) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks over six inning as the Angels were downed 5-3 by the Mariners. He struck out six.

The 24-year-old right-hander set a new season high in Ks while delivering his second straight quality start and third in six trips to the mound. Kochanowicz also got taken deep again, however -- a three-run shot by Jorge Polanco in the second inning -- and he's served up six homers in 32.1 innings to fuel his rough 5.29 ERA. Kochanowicz will look for a better result in his next outing, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Tigers.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

Bichette knocked a double in the third and came around to score on a home run by Vladimir Guerrero. It was Bichette's first extra-base hit since he had two doubles April 16. Bichette also swiped his third bag of the year, all of which have come since April 18. He leads the team with 36 hits and has nine extra-base hits but remains homerless this year after only totaling four in 81 games last season.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

The Blue Jays managed just four hits as a team, but Guerrero was able to get a hold of one off Garrett Crochet in the third for his third homer of the year. Guerrero leads the Blue Jays in home runs and RBI (14), though that's not saying a ton, as Toronto has just 15 homers this season. He's hitting just .160 over his last seven games but holds a .271 average and .368 on-base percentage so far this season.
