It’s the third time in the team’s past six ballgames that the 25-year-old slugger has found himself riding the pine. Spencer Steer will once again function as the team’s first baseman and will bat fifth against Cardinals’ right-hander Andre Pallante on Friday evening in St. Louis.

Phillips is up to take the roster spot of Wade Miley with Miley being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his left elbow. Phillips was one of the big names acquired by the Reds in the Luis Castillo trade, and he’s been effective in the bullpen this year with a 3.14 ERA. He’ll likely work in the middle innings while he’s with Cincinnati.

Miley will be forced to miss at least two weeks, but a flexor strain likely means the 38-year-old won’t be able to return until after the All-Star break at the earliest. He’ll hit the shelf with Connor Phillips recalled from Louisville to take Mileys place on the pitching staff.

Lux took Chris Paddack deep in the third inning with a runner on to cut the Twins’ lead to 7-4. The 27-year-old has provided some value with his .275 average and .365 on-base percentage, but that’s just his third homer of 2025 in 218 at-bats. Hopefully the ball starts traveling over the fence more often off the bat of Lux in the summer months. It should considering his home park.

The 30-year-old first baseman had started each of the team’s previous 17 games, so getting him a breather seems like a good idea. France has hit .264/.326/.366 with just five homers and 38 RBI through his first 291 plate appearances on the season. Kody Clemens will start in his place at first base and will bat seventh for the Twins against Brewers’ rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on Friday night at Target Field.

The Mariners could have just sent Dominic Canzone down to make room for the returning Luke Raley, but they’ve chosen instead to move on from Tellez, who was hitting .208/.249/.434 with 11 homers in 185 plate appearances. In truth, it seems like the right call to us. Tellez has just an 88 OPS+ since the start of 2023, and while Canzone isn’t very good in right, the defense is probably still better with him in the outfield and Raley at first than with Raley in right and Tellez at first.

That’s a sweep for Atlanta. Olson’s bases-loaded double broke the game open in the sixth. He’s batting .321/.451/.607 with three homers and 17 RBI in 71 plate appearances during the month of June, and his current .850 OPS is his highest mark since the second game of the season.
