In a recent game against the Athletics, infielder Jonah Bride took the mound for the Minnesota Twins during a blowout loss. Manager Rocco Baldelli expressed his disdain for using position players to pitch, suggesting that the bullpen should contribute financially when such situations arise as a gesture of appreciation. Bride managed to hold his own, allowing two runs in two innings, demonstrating some surprising skills on the mound. Despite this experience being his first in the majors, he has pitched previously in the minors.

Shortstop Carlos Correa sat out due to upper back pain, which has hampered his performance recently, specifically affecting his swing. The Twins also made roster moves, recalling right-hander Travis Adams for his major league debut and sending Kody Funderburk back to the minors. The Twins are looking to solidify their roster as they continue to push through the season.
