Simeon Woods Richardson

MIN Starting Pitcher #78

Simeon Woods-Richardson allowed three hits, walked three more, and gave up two runs over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

Poor command hurt Woods-Richardson’s day. He threw just 40% of his pitches in the strike zone and stayed near the heart of the zone whenever he did actually throw a strike. He was effectively wild through four innings, but the Royals finally broke through with two runs in the fifth inning which ended Woods-Richardson’s afternoon. It’s now been eight times in nine starts where he hasn’t pitched past the fifth inning. Woods-Richardson is scheduled to face the Reds at home next time out.
Carlos Santana

MIN First Baseman #30

Carlos Santana (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Royals.

Santana was pulled Saturday because he was feeling sick, and he’ll get Sunday off as well. It’ll be Jose Miranda starting at first base in Santana’s place.
Emmanuel Rodriguez

MIN Center Fielder #90

Emmanuel Rodriguez’s first Triple-A homer was an inside-the-park grand slam hit Saturday for St. Paul.

There was a collision that allowed the ball to drop on the warning track, and everyone came around to score. Rodriguez also walked twice yesterday and hit a 109-mph grounder that produced an error. He’s 2-for-13 with six walks and seven strikeouts since joining the Saints.
Matt Wallner

MIN Right Fielder #38

Matt Wallner went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI against the Royals on Saturday.

Wallner hit an RBI double off Alec Marsh in the third inning. He’s a strong-side platoon bat. Call him a one trick pony if you must, but hitting right-handed pitching is a valuable trick. Wallner is hitting .263 with a .933 OPS and 30 RBI this year.
Bailey Ober

MIN Starting Pitcher #17

Bailey Ober tossed seven shutout innings and got a no-decision against the Royals on Saturday.

Obert allowed one hit, walked none and struck out seven. The Twins bullpen wasted a wonderful outing by Ober by allowing four runs in the eighth inning once he was removed from the game. He’s bounced back with two excellent starts since allowing nine runs to the Braves on August 26th. Ober is 12-6 with a 3.77 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 162 strikeouts in 155 innings this year. The 29-year-old right-hander is set to face the Reds at home next week.
Carlos Santana

MIN First Baseman #30

Carlos Santana was pulled from Saturday’s game against the Royals due to illness.

Santana went 0-for-2 before exiting. The 38-year-old was replaced in the lineup by Kyle Farmer. Santana should be considered day-to-day with a good chance to be back in the lineup in the coming days.
Carlos Correa

MIN Shortstop #4

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and FOX Sports reported that Carlos Correa (plantar fasciitis) still expects to return before the season ends.

Correa talked to Rosenthal on Saturday, and that the last two days have been the best he’s felt running. He also acknowledged that there’s no set timetable, and that because plantar fasciitis is such a “weird” injury, there could be a setback at anytime. There’s still three weeks left in the year so a return seems very plausible, but fantasy managers will have to remain patient and can’t rely on Correa to be back in the lineup anytime (relatively) soon.
Payton Eeles

MIN Second Baseman

Twins 2B prospect Payton Eeles clobbered a two-run homer on Friday for Triple-A St. Paul.

Eeles seems to fit the bill for fantasy managers searching for an off-the-radar prospect that could make an impact in the coming weeks, especially in extremely deep mixed leagues. The unheralded 24-year-old infielder went undrafted out of Coastal Carolina last year and spent time with the Chicago Dogs and Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the independent American Association and Atlantic League, respectively, before getting a shot earlier this season with the Twins. He’s batted .305/.436/.476 with eight homers and 33 steals in 401 plate appearances over 97 games across three level, reaching Triple-A St. Paul back in early July.
Zebby Matthews

MIN Starting Pitcher #52

Zebby Matthews lost to the Royals after allowing four runs in six innings on Friday.

Matthews allowed nine hits, seven of which were singles, and struck out four. He dropped to 1-3 with a 7.36 ERA, though he’s looked considerably better than that ERA suggests. Still, he’s going to need to miss a few more bats in order to succeed. He’s a decent play in mixed leagues with a home start against the Reds coming up next.
Louie Varland

MIN Starting Pitcher #37

The Twins intend to use Louie Varland as a reliever going forward.

Varland relieved Wednesday, but that was as a planned bulk guy. This should be more of a traditional middle-inning role for the right-hander. The Twins also made this move last September, and while Varland wasn’t thrilled about it, he had a great final month in the majors, allowing two runs with a 17/1 K/BB ratio in 12 innings. Varland is 0-6 with a 7.62 ERA in seven starts and two relief appearances for the Twins this season.
