MINNESOTA TWINS NEWS

Willi Castro - Takes indoor batting practice Castro (oblique) took indoor batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Impact Castro admitted Tuesday of his right oblique that "I don't feel 100 percent," but he and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli are confident Castro can avoid a stint on the injured list. The oblique flares up when the switch hitter bats left-handed, so it's possible he returns only to hit right-handed initially.

Royce Lewis - Rehab assignment imminent Lewis (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment later this week, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Impact Lewis did sprints Monday and ran the bases Tuesday to test out his left hamstring, coming out of the workouts with no issues. He's also been doing on-field batting practice and infield drills for a couple weeks. It's not clear how many rehab games Lewis will require, but he looks to be tracking toward an early May season debut.

Pablo López - On track for weekend return The Twins are expected to activate Lopez (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to have him make a start during their weekend series versus the Angels in Minnesota, Aaron Gleeman...

Impact Though Lopez is eligible to come off the IL for Thursday's series finale versus the White Sox, the Twins are listing Chris Paddack as their scheduled starter for that day, which implies that the right-hander won't be activated until at least Friday. Lopez looked sharp in his lone rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul this past Saturday, covering 4.2 innings and striking out four batters while allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks.

Luke Keaschall - Swipes two bags Tuesday Keaschall went 1-for-2 with two walks, two steals and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Impact Keaschall notched a hit for the fourth straight game since his promotion and ran wild with two stolen bases. He's the first player in Twins history to steal three-plus bases in their first four career games. Keaschall had 23 steals in the minors last year and is already up to seven steals between the minors and majors this season in just 75 plate appearances.

Trevor Larnach - Provides clutch home run Larnach went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Larnach had the Twins only extra-base hit of the evening after taking Mike Vasil deep in the eighth to put them up 4-1. The homer was his second in his last four games after not hitting any through the first 18 games of the season. Larnach now has a hit in four straight games, but his batting average still sits at .200 for the season.

Jhoan Duran - Earns shaky save Duran earned his second save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the White Sox, allowing one run on a hit and two walks while striking out a batter.

Impact Duran was staked a three-run lead after Trevor Larnach homered in the eighth and nearly imploded. The White Sox loaded the bases after a single and two walks to begin the inning, but Duran responded with a strikeout, groundout and flyout to escape without too much harm done. Tuesday was his first outing allowing a run since his season debut, as he's pitched to an excellent 1.74 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 11 appearances thus far.

Bailey Ober - Picks up second win Ober (2-1) earned a win over the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

Impact Ober posted a third straight quality start and registered a season-high six strikeouts. The White Sox scattered eight hits against Ober and pushed one run across in the second inning, but he otherwise was able to erase any run-scoring threats. Ober's still working to straighten out his early season numbers, as he currently owns a 5.04 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. He'll take the mound again next week in a road matchup with the Guardians.

Royce Lewis - Ramping up rehab Lewis (hamstring) did some sprints Monday and ran the bases again Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Lewis is coming along well in his recovery from a left hamstring strain and would appear close to a rehab assignment, although the Twins haven't revealed a timetable for that yet. He's been sidelined since mid-March, so Lewis will likely require more than just a few rehab games.

Impact Castro hasn't played since tweaking his right oblique on April 16, although there's been no indication to this point that the Twins are mulling a injured list stint. The Twins are going with Brooks Lee at third base and Edouard Julien at second base Tuesday.
