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.

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.

The expectation is that the 26-year-old slugger will remain with the Saints through the weekend and as long as he avoids any setbacks, he would return to the Twins for the start of their series against the Marlins on Tuesday. Lewis has had a tumultuous and disappointing season to date, slashing just .202/.282/.303 with two homers and nine RBI in 110 plate appearances sandwiched between stints on the injured list.

Heim hasn’t been great in batting .230/,266/.380, but the Rangers have favored him over Kyle Higashioka, who is receiving less playing time than it looked like he would at the beginning of the year. The start tonight was Heim’s 56th in the Rangers’ 81 games; he’s caught 47 times and DH’d on nine occasions.

He also walked. It’s actually Smith’s first multihit game in June, though at least four of his six hits over the last two weeks have been homers. He’s still batting .268/.389/.474 overall after a very fast start.

It’s not out of the question that Tong could ascend to the majors before the end of the year, but the Mets have an extremely crowded rotation mix and little incentive to push him too aggressively. The 22-year-old righty notched his fourth double-digit strikeout performance of the season on Saturday and is up to 107 punchouts over 67 innings of work at the Double-A level. He’s one of the most intriguing pitching prospects in the fantasy landscape based on his ability to miss bats. He’s a name to watch in the second half of the year, even in standard re-draft formats.
