Jeffers is finally on the board with his first homer. The caveat is that it came off a 50-mph lob from Will Wilson, as the Guardians finished with a position player pitching for the second game in a row. Jeffers has started 11 of the last 12 games, including two at DH, as the Twins have abandoned their catcher rotation that had seen Jeffers and Christian Vázquez mostly alternate starts the last two years. It wasn’t because Jeffers had been particularly productive, either; this is the first time all year that he’s finished a game with an OPS above .690. Vázquez, though, is currently at .450.

Ober struck out only two, but he generated a ton of soft contact — the average EV of the whopping 29 balls in play against him was 82 mph — and walked no one in the 102-pitch outing. This still wasn’t Ober at his best, and he’s probably not going to get back to being especially helpful in mixed leagues unless he regains some velocity. Still, he’s not entirely without value right now. He’ll take a 3-1 record and a 4.13 ERA into Boston for his start Saturday.

It’s a two-year minor league pact for Canterino, who was cut loose last week by the Twins following his removal from the club’s 40-man roster. The 27-year-old pitching prospect’s once-promising career has been derailed by injuries and he basically hasn’t pitched in the minors since the 2022 season. He’s currently recovering after recently undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery.

Ryan gave up two doubles, two singles and a walk in his best outing of the year. The 11 strikeouts were one off of his career high of 12 against the Tigers last April, and he now has 10 career 10-strikeout games. Ryan will take a 2-2 record and a 3.18 ERA into his next start in Boston.

Goodman gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead with his homer off Bryce Elder in the first inning. The 25-year-old has five homers and an OPS of .827 over his 90 at-bats, and he should continue to hit in the middle of the Colorado lineup. That’s not exactly the highest compliment, but it’s something.

If Naylor is going to hit like Austin Hedges, the Guardians might as well just play Hedges. Naylor is batting .177 with two homers and six RBI in 73 plate appearances. His at-bats tonight produced two mile-high popups and a weak grounder for a combined xBA of .050.

Sánchez hits the shelf ahead of Monday’s game against the Yankees, his former team. It’ll be Maverick Handley coming up from Triple-A Norfolk to take his spot on Baltimore’s active roster as franchise cornerstone Adley Rutschman’s primary caddy.
