The Twins are probably going to get Royce Lewis back next week and Luke Keaschall certainly seems poised to stick around after that happens, so Lee and Edouard Julien are back jockeying for position. At this point, Lee would seem to have the clear edge on Julien; he’s the superior defender and he’s posted a .721 OPS in 10 games since coming off the IL, compared to .611 in 22 games for Julien. Julien, though, would still seem to be the better bet against right-handed pitching going forward. The Twins figure to keep both on the roster initially after Lewis returns; it’s just a matter of who is going to get more playing time.

No word yet on the reason for the late scratch, but the 23-year-old outfielder was set to bat sixth and serve as the designated hitter in the team’s initial lineup and he was ultimately swapped out for David Villar. Expect the Giants to provide an update on his status shortly.

The 35-year-old 13th-year pro slides in as a 1-for-1 Michael Pierce replacement after the former Raven retired in March. Although strictly a two-down player, Jenkins actually played a new career high 606 snaps for the Raiders last season. He probably won’t reach that total in Baltimore, but he should see plenty of work as a run-stopper.

The versatile 28-year-old remained in the game for a few innings after fouling a pitch off of his knee, but ultimately the decision was made to pull him from the game. He’ll likely head for further evaluation to determine whether or not there’s any structural damage. Look for the Twins to provide an update on Castro’s status after the game.

The 25-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since the end of March due to a left oblique strain. Cecconi has made three minor league rehab starts at Triple-A Columbus, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 10/2 K/BB ratio over 13 innings of work. Fantasy managers should probably take a wait and see approach rather than trying to stream him against the Reds on Saturday.

Gordon injured his hamstring during Thursday’s Game 6 victory, forcing a decisive Game 7 on Sunday. While Charania did not report the grade of the Nuggets’ forward’s strain, Gordon’s availability for Game 7 is in doubt. Multiple reserves will have added value if the Nuggets are forced to play without their starting power forward. Russell Westbrook, Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther will all be asked to contribute even more than they have in this series.

The Reds got all of their runs in the first three innings and then held on as the Guardians scored in the fourth, fifth and eighth. Benson’s homer started the scoring in the second, as he took an awful Tanner Bibee slider 361 feet to right field. He also homered and knocked in three runs Thursday against the White Sox, and he’s 7-for-18 with a 2/3 K/BB ratio in six games since being recalled last week. He’ll stay in the lineup until he coola off, and he’ll probably remain on the roster over Rece Hinds once Jake Fraley comes off the injured list.
