Ober has been battling through a hip impingement since April, and while his spin rates and velocity held close to normal, he was unable to recover well between outings. The Twins finally decided to put Ober on the IL, and he recently “received medicine to eliminate the hip inflammation and expects to be fine in a few days.” Once the inflammation subsides, the Twins hope that Ober can “begin to ramp up starting Tuesday or Wednesday.” If Ober is able to throw without pain and with his normal mechanics, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him put together a strong stretch to finish the season.

Buxton made the announcement on his Instagram page on Monday afternoon. The Georgia native becomes the fourth confirmed participant, joining Braves icon Ronald Acuña Jr., Mariners mashing backstop Cal Raleigh and Nationals burgeoning star James Wood. The 31-year-old center fielder has crushed 20 homers already this season and is on pace to threaten the 40-homer plateau for the first time in his career.

Twins athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said that “things are progressing nicely” for López, who was placed on the IL with a Grade 2 Teres Major strain retroactive to June 4. The inflammation in his shoulder is now totally gone, but the Twins are being cautious not to rush him back. “We need to do the best thing we can for him for the long term and not just worry about the short term,” said Paparesta. “Strengthen him up and make sure his range of motion gets back to where we want it to be. Then look to get him into some throwing activity next week.”

Bader’s home run was No. 10 on the season for him. The 31-year-old outfielder came off the bench in the bottom of the eighth inning and hit a game-tying two-run home run off Mason Montgomery. It was his third home run against the Rays in the last two games. Bader is hitting .250 with a .757 OPS and 32 RBI this year. He remains an option in AL-Only leagues.
