He played third base and went 0-for-3 on Tuesday. There’s been no confirmation yet, but the Twins could get both Lewis and Jose Miranda back from the injured list on Friday. Edouard Julien, Jair Camargo, Austin Martin are candidates to be demoted to make room.

Keith played third base at Arizona State and in the minors, but this will be the first time he starts at the position in the majors. The 23-year-old has been just so-so with the bat in 2025 with a .712 OPS, but he’s picked it up as of late, and the fact that he will likely have another position of eligibility — assuming this doesn’t go terribly — adds to the potential fantasy intrigue.

Bohm finished the series 7-for-13 with six RBI, and his current .717 OPS is his highest mark since the third game of the season. He should go back to putting up strong RBI numbers as long as the Phillies keep batting him third or fourth.

The run never should have happened. Carson Kelly would have fouled out to right, but Nick Castellanos botched the routine play, overrunning the ball. Since Castellanos didn’t touch it, no error was called, and Kelly went on to double and later come around to score. Luzardo gave up 20 runs in his previous two starts, taking his ERA from 2.15 to 4.46, but he didn’t seem to be having any stuff issues in the process. He got 16 missed swings today and threw 70 of his 99 pitches for strikes while going without a walk. He’ll face his former team next week in Miami.

All or nothing for Brown. In his last 11 appearances, he’s allowed zero or one runs four times and six of more runs for times. Although his ERA sits at 5.71, Brown deserves to keep starting for now. Still, even if he becomes more consistent, he’s likely going to wind up in the pen at some point during the second half. After all, he’s never thrown more than 104 innings in a season, and he finished at just 55 last year. He’s at 68 1/3 innings right now. He’ll likely face the Brewers on Tuesday.

Hoerner entered the day with fewer hard-hit balls (60) than games played (63), but he made hard contact three times against three different pitchers in this one. He has four hits the last two days after going 3-for-26 in his previous seven contests.

Bowlan makes the trip from Omaha to Kansas City more than any person on the planet. The right-hander is up to replace Cole Ragans (rotator cuff) on the active roster as a middle-inning option.

Richards is removed from the roster to make room for a fresh arm in Jonathan Bowlan. The 32-year-old threw two scoreless innings during Tuesday’s blowout loss, but now will hit the waiver wire.

Erceg missed just a minimum stint on the injured list while recovering from back inflammation. He should return to a high-leverage arm in the Kansas City bullpen.

Oh dear. Ragans was highly ineffective in his start last week against the Cardinals, and it appears that he wasn’t at 100 percent while pitching in that outing. He’s out for at least two weeks, but there’s a great chance that this will be a longer stint on the shelf for the 27-year-old. Kansas City should offer a more concrete timeline soon.
