Twins' Joe Ryan: Waiting on MRI results
Ryan underwent an MRI on his right elbow after exiting his start in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays, but the Twins are still waiting on the results of his imaging before determining his next steps, MLB.com reports.
Ryan joined the team in Washington, D.C. on Monday for the start of their six-game road trip, so the Twins seemingly aren't closing the door on the right-hander making his next turn through the rotation, which will come up Saturday in Cleveland. Before he was lifted from his start this past Sunday due to elbow soreness, Ryan faced just two batters and averaged 91.6 miles per hour on his four fastballs, a notable decline from his average of 92.6 mph through his first seven outings of the season.

Twins' Julian Merryweather: Cleared for rehab assignment
Merryweather (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with the Twins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
Merryweather has been shelved since spring training with a left hamstring strain, but he's finally ready for game action. The veteran reliever is signed to a minor-league contract with the Twins and will eventually move up to Triple-A St. Paul.

Twins' Jose Olivares: Returns to health
Olivares was activated from the 7-day injured list April 21.
Olivares had a delayed start to the season as he finished up rehabbing from offseason elbow surgery. He's been a bit wild to begin the 2026 campaign at Double-A Wichita, where he's accumulated a 3.86 ERA and 2.14 WHIP with a 6:8 K:BB across seven innings.

Twins' Walker Jenkins: Out with Grade 2 shoulder sprain
Jenkins was diagnosed Monday with a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Jenkins sustained the injury after crashing into the center field wall while making a catch during Sunday's Triple-A contest. The 21-year-old outfielder will likely need a stint on the 7-day IL, and St. Paul should provide clarity on a recovery timeline once Jenkins' shoulder has had some time to heal. One of Minnesota's top prospects, Jenkins is slashing .256/.396/.389 with five steals and two home runs across 111 plate appearances with St. Paul this season.

Twins' Walker Jenkins: Suffers shoulder injury
Jenkins suffered a left shoulder injury and was removed from Sunday's contest with Triple-A St. Paul in the sixth inning, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.
Jenkins crashed into the center field wall while making a catch with two outs in the top of the sixth inning, and he was promptly removed from the contest while favoring his left shoulder. The 21-year-old is considered to be the Twins' No. 1 prospect and the No. 11 overall prospect in MLB Pipeline's Top 100, and he's produced a .256 average with two home runs, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and five stolen bases over 90 at-bats in 25 contests with St. Paul this season. More information on the outfielder's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Twins' Justin Topa: Hangs on for second save
Topa picked up the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays despite allowing two runs on four hits in the ninth inning.
It didn't come easy for Topa on Sunday after the right-hander entered with a three-run lead. He gave up four hits in the frame, including a two-run homer to Kazuma Okamoto, though he ultimately coaxed a double play off the bat of Lenyn Sosa to strand the tying and go-ahead runs on base. It's Topa's second save this season and his first since April 7. His ERA sits at 4.70 with a 1.63 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across 15.1 innings.

Twins' Joe Ryan: Managing sore elbow
Ryan was removed from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays due to right elbow soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Ryan threw just nine pitches -- recording one out and issuing a walk -- before departing. His final offering was a 90.9 mph fastball, which is down from his typical velocity. Ryan will likely undergo medical imaging, at which point there should be a better idea of his availability for his next turn through the rotation and beyond.

Twins' Joe Ryan: Departs with apparent injury
Ryan was removed from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays during the first inning with an apparent injury, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The right-hander struck out Yohendrick Pinango to start the game and then walked Kazuma Okamoto, after which Ryan signaled to the dugout and exited the contest with training staff. His final pitch was a 90.9-mph fastball, which is nearly two ticks slower than his average fastball velocity (92.6 mph) in the early going this season. The nature of the injury isn't clear, but Ryan's availability for his next turn through the rotation is now in question.

Twins' Josh Bell: Resting in series finale
Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
After starting each of the Twins' last eight games, Bell will rest for Sunday's day game. Byron Buxton will get a day off from playing center field and occupy Bell's usual spot at designated hitter.

Twins' Victor Caratini: Playing time fading
Caratini will start at catcher and bat cleanup Sunday against the Blue Jays.
After a recent stretch in which he made 11 consecutive starts between catcher, first base and designated hitter, Caratini has moved into more of a part-time role. He'll be included in the lineup Sunday for just the seventh time in the Twins' last 15 games, stepping in behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers receives the afternoon off.

Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Resting up Sunday
Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
With Sunday's series finale beginning at 12:45 p.m. EDT, Jeffers will receive a breather after he made starts at catcher or designated hitter each of the past four days. Byron Buxton will serve as the Twins' DH on Sunday, while Victor Caratini steps in behind the dish.

Twins' Byron Buxton: Extends homer streak to three games
Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Toronto on Saturday.
Buxton got Minnesota off to a good start with a solo blast leading off the bottom of the first inning. The long ball extended the veteran outfielder's streak of games with a homer to three, and he's now gone deep five times over his past six contests. Buxton is currently on a big-time heater, hitting safely in seven straight games and batting .400 (12-for-30) with the five homers, seven RBI and a stolen base over that span.

Twins' Connor Prielipp: Tosses five frames in no-decision
Prielipp completed five innings against Toronto in a no-decision Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.
Prielipp gave up a pair of solo homers in the second inning but was otherwise unscored upon. The rookie lefty needed 91 pitches (59 strikes) to get through his five innings but walked an acceptable two batters and notched 10 whiffs en route to four punchouts. Prielipp has yet to complete more than five innings in any of his three starts so far, but he's holding his own in the majors with a 3.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 14 frames. He's up with the team while Mick Abel (elbow) resides on the injured list, but Prielipp is pitching well enough to at least make Minnesota think about his spot on the big-league roster long term.

Twins' Austin Martin: Getting breather Saturday
Martin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Martin raised his batting average to .333 with a three-hit performance in Friday's loss, but the Twins will keep him in the dugout to begin Saturday's game. Matt Wallner will start in right field and bat seventh.

Twins' Royce Lewis: Resting Saturday
Lewis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Lewis will get a day off to reset after going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts through the first two games of the series. His absence will give Tristan Gray a start at the hot corner.
