With mounting injuries in their infield, the Twins are in desperate need of reinforcements, and that’s where Keaschall comes in. The 22-year-old second baseman was off to a solid start at Triple-A St. Paul, slashing .261/.379/.348 with one homer, five RBI, four stolen bases and an 11/9 K/BB ratio in 58 plate appearances through his first 14 games. He should see regular playing time while with the Twins, making him an intriguing middle infield option in deeper mixed leagues.

It’ll be Bailey Ober taking the ball in his place. It’s a tough break for fantasy managers since Ryan is coming off a pair of stellar starts and was set to face an Orioles’ lineup that has scored three earned runs or fewer in seven of their last 10 contests. Barring an unexpected development, Ryan should be cleared to take the ball at some point during a three-game series against the Giants, which gets underway on Friday night.

Bader was out of the starting lineup due to illness, but the 30-year-old looked plenty healthy with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The outfielder has now homered four times in 2025, and it’s come with a solid slash of .287/.368/.457.

Buxton gave the Twins a 3-1 lead with a three-run blast in the third inning. He’s now homered in three straight games, and that homer along with a single now has him hitting .274/.306/.541 with nine roundtrippers over 37 games. As long as Buxton is healthy, he’s capable of major fantasy fireworks.

This was the ‘TJ Friedl’ show as he opened the game by homering off a hanging curveball from Grant Holmes in a game the Reds would never trail. He took Holmes deep again in his next at-bat and this was his first multi-home run game since August 14th of last season. While his tools will never jump off the page, he’s still hitting lead-off nearly every day for the Reds.

Bryant will travel to Los Angeles on Thursday to have the procedure performed to aid healing in his back. The 33-year-old former NL MVP was diagnosed last month with lumbar degenerative disease and will have to manage the ongoing issue for the remainder of his playing career. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.

The injury was previously reported as “inflammation,” but now we know that the inflammation is the result of a strain. Astros manager Joe Espada said the diagnosis was “good news,” and the team still hopes Alvarez will have a minimum stint on the IL, but he’ll obviously need to wait for the strained muscle or tendon to heal, which might take more than a week depending on the severity of the strain.
