Buxton clobbered a two-out 425-foot (111.3 mph EV) solo shot off of Sawyer Gipson-Long in the fifth inning that extended the Twins’ lead to 2-0. He then drew a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, swiped second base, took third on a ground ball and scored on a sacrifice bunt by Willi Castro. With the impressive showing of power and speed, the 31-year-old outfielder is now hitting .278/.346/.560 with 18 long balls, 49 RBI and 14 stolen bases in what has been an impressive all-around first half.

Look at the bright side: it would have been six homers had the game been played at Fenway or Wrigley rather than at Comerica. It just doesn’t look like that one mph Ober lost off his fastball is coming back, though in truth, the slider and changeup have been bigger problems for him. Maybe he’ll figure something out, but those in shallow leagues can’t keep waiting on him. He’ll take a 5.28 ERA into his next start against the Rays.

Buxton has been eliminated from the fan vote, but it’d be nuts if he’s not an All-Star for the second time next month. He’s up to 19 homers and 51 RBI, which are both tied for the second-highest totals of his career; he had 28 homers in 92 games in 2022 and 56 RBI in 102 games last season. He also stole his 15th base today, which stands alone as his second-highest total behind the 29 he had in his one relatively full season in 2017. He’s currently third in the AL and seventh in the majors with a .927 OPS.

While he has moved around the diamond, Clemens has become a regular in the Twins’ lineup over the past few weeks, seeing the bulk of his time at second base. Unfortunately, that role will likely be cut back substantially next week as Royce Lewis is set to return from the injured list. Willi Castro will move over and cover second base for the Twins on Saturday afternoon.

The Phillies are starting a tough left-hander in Jesus Luzardo on Saturday night, so it makes sense why the Braves would want to get Harris a breather. The 24-year-old outfielder has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, slashing a dreadful .212/.238/.320 with six homers, 43 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 68/10 K/BB ratio over his first 326 plate appearances. Eli White will man center field in his absence on Saturday.

A second opinion on Friday confirmed that surgery would be required to repair the issue. The Brewers are optimistic that he’ll still be able to return at some point before the 2025 season comes to a close, but a clear timeline won’t be known until after he undergoes the procedure.

With the Tigers’ lineup finally healthy for the most part, you’re going to start seeing more days off for regulars in the lineup as manager A.J. Hinch attempts to work everybody in. Meadows has struggled since his return from the injured list, slashing a disappointing .181/.263/.319 with a pair of homers, seven RBI and two stolen bases in 80 plate appearances. Matt Vierling will start in Meadows’ place in center field on Saturday.
