Player Stats

Twins optioned RHP Cody Laweryson to Triple-A St. Paul.

Laweryson is sent down to make room for Austin Voth. The 28-year-old is likely to be an up-and-down option as long as he’s a member of the Twins, or any other organization.

Twins recalled RHP Cody Laweryson from Triple-A St. Paul.

Laweryson rejoins Minnesota’s relief corps with Anthony Banda hitting the shelf with a lat strain. The unheralded 28-year-old middle reliever has pitched to a serviceable 5.06 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 18/7 K/BB ratio across 16 innings at the highest level this season.

Twins activated RHP Cody Laweryson from the 15-day injured list.

Laweryson returns to Minnesota’s relief corps following a seven-week absence recovering from a forearm strain. The 28-year-old righty has posted a serviceable 4.26 ERA and 8/2 K/BB ratio across 6 1/3 innings for the Twins this season.

Twins placed RHP Cody Laweryson on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 9, with a right forearm strain.

Laweryson figures to be facing an extended absence since forearm issues tend to be extremely problematic and are often precursors to more serious elbow issues. The Twins aren’t going to rush him back. The 27-year-old reliever was off to a nice start with a respectable 4.26 ERA and 8/2 K/BB ratio across 6 1/3 innings of work.

Twins’ skipper Derek Shelton announced after Friday’s game that Cody Laweryrson will be placed on the injured list on Saturday with a right forearm strain.

The 27-year-old hurler had done a nice job in his first five appearances out of the Twins’ bullpen, posting a 4.26 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and an 8/2 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings. The severity of the strain and how long Laweryson will be sidelined for are not yet known.

Twins selected the contract of RHP Cody Laweryson.

Laweryson’s strange journey saw him DFA’d by the Twins in November, claimed by the Angels, released and now not only back with the Twins but also in possession of a spot in the team’s pen. Laweryson, a University of Maine product, isn’t viewed as someone with much upside, but we wouldn’t be surprised if he turns out to be the most reliable option in a weak Twins pen.

FA Relief Pitcher #66

Angels released RHP Cody Laweryson.

Laweryson was claimed off waivers from the Twins in November and then DFA’d on Monday. That he’s being released here after clearing waivers would seem to suggest he’s on his way to Asia. Otherwise, he’d seem like someone the Angels would want to hang on to as a non-roster player.

Angels designated RHP Cody Laweryson for assignment.

The 27-year-old reliever was claimed off waivers from the Twins back in November. He posted a 2.86 ERA and 45/14 K/BB in his 44 innings at the Double-A and Triple-A levels before allowing one run in 7 2/3 innings in the big leagues to end the season. He was waived to make room on the 40-man roster for Yoan Moncada.

Jesús Luzardo pitched four-hit ball for eight innings Tuesday in the Phillies’ 5-0 shutout of the Nationals.

Luzardo allowed one or no runs for the sixth time in seven starts and the 12th time this season. He’s probably about due to go on one of those runs in which he allowed six runs in three of four outings, but through 23 starts this year, he’s 10-5 with a 3.36 ERA and 164 strikeouts, which ranks sixth in the majors. He’ll face the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Zack Littell gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Phillies after replacing Carson Palmquist in the first innings Tuesday.

Palmquist flopped as an opener, retiring just one of the four batters he faced, and the Nationals never made a game of it after Littell entered. The loss went to Palmquist, so Littell remains 7-8 with a 4.97 ERA. He’ll face the Reds on Sunday.

Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI from the cleanup spot in his Phillies debut Tuesday against the Nationals.

Perfect. This is what cleanup Arraez was always supposed to do and always why Arraez was also supposed to bat cleanup. He’s not an OBP guy while hitting singles or doubles every third at-bat. He’s an RBI guy.

Trea Turner finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Nationals.

Turner has 11 hits in his last six games to raise his average to .252. We’re not testing any theories here, but his average hadn’t been this high since he went 0-for-4 on 4/20.

Caleb Durbin went 2-for-3 with his first career grand slam, a walk and a steal as the Red Sox crushed the White Sox 14-2 on Tuesday.

Durbin has 11 homers and 13 steals on the year, so a 20/20 season is in play in spite of his rough start. He’s up to .247/.318/.405 in 392 plate appearances, and he’s probably the favorite to claim the American League Gold Glove at third base.

Patrick Sandoval got his first win of the year after allowing two runs in five innings Tuesday against the Red Sox.

It’s the first win credited to Sandoval, but the Red Sox have gone 5-0 in his starts since he was activated last month, with Sandoval amassing a 3.38 ERA and a 25/10 K/BB in 24 innings. He has another kind matchup coming up against the A’s at home on Sunday.

Brayan Bello recorded his first career save for pitching three perfect innings against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Bello needed just 28 pitches to get nine outs to finish off a 14-2 game. He’s certainly making a case for getting more work in close games while having allowed only one run in 16 2/3 innings over four appearances since returning to the majors on July 12. But at least he’s taking some pressure off Boston’s bullpen as is.

Davis Martin was lit up for nine runs in five-plus innings by the Red Sox on Tuesday.

That’s more runs than he allowed in six starts in March and April (eight in 37 innings) or in five starts in May (seven in 30 2/3 innings). Martin opened the year 8-1 with a 2.00 ERA, but since the beginning of June, he’s 1-5 with a 6.79 ERA. His peripherals aren’t as bad as his ERA, so maybe he deserves to keep his rotation spot for now. He’s on thin ice, though. He’ll face the Guardians on Sunday.

Wilyer Abreu hit his 18th and 19th homers Tuesday in the rout of the White Sox.

Abreu has eight homers and three two-homer games in 18 games since the break, even though he’s batting just .200 during the span (14-for-70). He’s three homers away from matching last year’s total, which seems good, but then he’s already had 71 more plate appearances than he did then, since he’s avoided the IL and he’s starting regularly against lefties.
