Elvis Andrus - Swinging blistering batAndrus, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in a loss to the Twins on Monday, is hitting .467 (7-for-15) with an RBI, two walks and a run in the last five games.
ImpactThe brief but impressive surge has quickly boosted the veteran shortstop's average from .183 to .231. Andrus' hot streak is reminiscent of his much longer breakout in 2021 following a similarly dreadful start, one that him furnish a .273 average and .325 on-base percentage over his final 100 games after carrying .174 and .219 figures in those categories as late as May 24.

Stephen Vogt - Makes good progress MondayVogt (knee) took part in full baseball activities before Monday's series opener against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ImpactThe veteran backstop was able to take batting practice and participate in both running and fielding drills for the first time since going on the injured list April 21. Despite the encouraging news, manager Mark Kotsay remains non-committal regarding a possible return date for Vogt, who will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation.
