Rodriguez was activated off the IL earlier in the day after being out with a hip injury since May 30. It was quite the return for the Twins’ top prospect, who is the 46th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. With trade rumors swirling around Trevor Larnach, Matt Wallner, and Willi Castro, there’s a chance we could see Rodriguez up in Minnesota at the end of this season if he can remain healthy.

This game started out great for Festa when he retired the first eight hitters he faced. Then, things got a little hairy in the fourth inning when the Cubs loaded the bases and wound up bringing two runs home. Yet, that ‘rally’ was more chaotic than worrisome as Kyle Tucker hit a well placed single, then Festa walked two batters which set the Cubs up to score two runs on ground balls that didn’t leave the infield. That was all he’d give up in a strong start against the highest scoring offense in the league.

There were rumors swirling during this game that Duran would be unavailable with the same illness that kept him out of Tuesday’s game. That turned out to not be the case as made quick work of the Cubs with an eight-pitch ninth inning. He now has a minuscule 1.52 ERA in what’s been another dominant season for the flame-thrower.

Wallner made Cade Horton pay for a two-strike sweeper in the fourth inning that caught way too much of the plate for a loud solo home run that left the bat at 113 mph. That wound up being the last run scored in what became an impressive showing by both team’s bullpens. Granted he missed a chunk of time due to injury, but this was Wallner’s first multi-hit game since April 16th and he tries to get going before the All-Star break.
