Kahnle tossed two scoreless innings in Thursday's 6-1 win over Kansas City to earn his third save of the season.

Kahnle inherited two baserunners when he was called in for the eighth inning with Detroit leading 4-1, but he was able to force two-straight groundouts (the first of which resulted in a double play) to get out of the frame unscathed. After the Tigers tacked on two insurance runs, he came back out for the ninth inning and needed just nine pitches to retire the side and register his third save of the 2025 campaign. Kahnle has a 1.29 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 5:0 K:BB across seven innings, as he has settled into the closer role.

Olson (2-1) earned the win against the Royals on Thursday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five across five scoreless innings.

Olson allowed at least two baserunners in two of the five frames he pitched, but he managed to get out of those innings without yielding a run. The 25-year-old right-hander has won four straight games at Comerica Park dating back to the 2024 regular season, and through his first four starts in 2025 he's posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 20 innings. Olson's next start is slated for next week at home against the Padres.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with one walk, one double and three RBI in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals.

Torkelson opened Thursday's scoring with a two-run double in the third inning, and he tallied a third RBI in the eighth frame when his single to center field brought Ryan Kreidler home. Torkelson has logged at least one RBI in five of his last six games and has a 1.035 OPS over that span.

Kochanowicz (1-2) took the loss after allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in 4.2 innings Thursday against the Rangers. He struck out one.

The Rangers peppered the right-hander with runs, scoring one in the first inning, two in the second frame and one more in the third. Kochanowicz hurled just one clean inning, although just two of his six hits allowed went for extra bases. After recording four strikeouts in each of his first two starts of the year, the 24-year-old has punched just one batter in each of his past two outings. Kochanowicz is slated for a softer matchup at home against the Pirates next week, but he has an uninspiring 6.20 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings to begin the season.

Rocker (1-2) earned the win after allowing three runs on five hits and no walks in seven innings Thursday against the Angels. He struck out eight.

The seven frames and eight punchouts both set career highs for the hard-throwing right-hander, who was outstanding Thursday. Jorge Soler plated a run in the opening frame, and Luis Rengifo drove in a pair in the fifth inning, but Rocker threw five spotless innings otherwise. Rocker will look to further improve on his 6.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB through four starts (18.1 innings) in his next outing, which is likely to come against a hard-hitting Athletics lineup in Sacramento next week.

Bradley (2-1) took the loss Thursday against the Yankees after allowing six runs on nine hits and four walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Bradley ran into immediate danger Thursday, giving up three hits before recording a single out, but he held the Yankees to just one run in the first inning. The right-hander then faltered while giving up five runs across the fifth and sixth innings, two of which came via inherited runners by Manuel Rodriguez after Bradley was relieved. The 24-year-old has already delivered two quality starts this season, but the 10 runs he's surrendered in his other two outings have resulted in an inflated 5.24 ERA.

Warren didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rays after allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out one.

After throwing 53 pitches, the right-hander was given a quick hook in the second inning. He limited the damage by getting Taylor Walls to hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the frame, but Warren was pulled after walking Kameron Misner to reload the bases. Warren has a 1-0 record through four starts and is holding right-handed batters to a .154 average, but lefties are hitting .300 against him with a .954 OPS. He will carry a mediocre 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings into his next scheduled start in Cleveland next week.

The Twins plan to select Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

With the Twins currently dealing with injuries to Royce Lewis (hamstring), Willi Castro (oblique) and Carlos Correa (wrist), the team will call upon Keaschall to provide a healthy body capable of playing in the infield. The 22-year-old prospect has only started at second base (and DH) in the minors this year, though he also has a bit of experience at first and in center field. He owns a .727 OPS with five RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 Triple-A contests this year and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Wright (shoulder/hamstring) is scheduled for three innings in the Arizona Complex League on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Wright entered the season on the injured list as he continues rehab on his right shoulder along with a hamstring strain he suffered in camp. The right-hander doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, but his return to game action indicates his 2025 MLB debut may not be too far off.

Harvey (shoulder) will be re-evaluated Tuesday with the hope of getting cleared to begin throwing, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Harvey was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right teres major strain April 11 after he felt it the day prior while warming up. The injury isn't believed to be a serious concern, but the right-hander will likely need a bit of time to build his arm back up even if he restarts his throwing program next week.
