Taj Bradley’s electric early-season form (1.08 ERA, 22 K in 16.2 IP) should carry into this start. His lively fastball and cutter match up well against a Blue Jays lineup that is suddenly thinner with George Springer sidelined, forcing Toronto to lean on inexperienced bats like Valenzuela and Lukes. Expect Bradley to cruise through the first trip in the order, mix in his changeup the second time through, and hand the game to a rested back-end trio of Sands, Funderburk, and Orze. Max Scherzer still flashes swing-and-miss stuff, but the Twins’ patient approach—anchored by hot hitters Josh Bell and Ryan Jeffers—figures to elevate his pitch count by the middle innings. With Royce Lewis out, Minnesota will sprinkle contact hitters (Martin, Lee) around Bell to keep traffic on the bases, and a fourth-inning surge should force the Jays to the bullpen earlier than they’d like. Given Toronto’s shaky middle relief, a late add-on run in the eighth and insurance in the ninth look likely. Toronto will scrape together runs against Bradley the third time through the order—Guerrero Jr. stays hot, and Davis Schneider’s discipline produces a key RBI—but the Jays’ offense lacks the thump to overcome the deficit. Home-field advantage and Scherzer’s competitiveness keep it close, yet the Twins’ sharper bullpen and deeper lineup tilt the final margin their way, 5-3.

Twins Razenjuju Simeona Woodsa Richardsona sa Blue Jaysima

Richardson je zabilježio ERA od 7.74 sa WHIP od 1.72 i 4.38 K/9 u 8 startova za Minnesotu prije određivanja—Toronto dodaje oporavnu ruku u rotaciju sa Gausmanom (ERA 3.13, 74 SO u 13 startova) kao svojom jasnom sidrom.

Colson Montgomery: Na klupi u utorak protiv Twinsa

Montgomery nema zabilježene statistike udaranja za 2026. godinu, što ukazuje da je imao ograničenu akciju za Chicago. Njegova zamjena predstavlja rutinsko upravljanje postavom za White Sox tim s biljeskom 23-37.

Bailey Ober Dijagnosticiran s Naprezanjem Savijača

Twins gube svog trećeg najboljem startera (ERA 4,59, omjer 6-3) zbog blagog naprezanja savijača sa čistim snimanjem UCL, ostavljajući MIN s omjerom 28-33 s Ryanom (ERA 3,20), Bradleyem (ERA 3,21, 5-1) i Connorom Priellippom koji preuzimaju sljedeći redoslijed u rotaciji.

Pirati Trguju Justina Lawrencea Twinsu

Lawrence je postigao ERA od 5,32 u ograničenoj akciji 2026 prije nego što je Pittsburgh odredio za dodjelu. Minnesota dodaje dubinu bullpenu klubu 27-33 koji sjedi -21 u razlici trčanja, iako potez ne signalizira hitnost u sastavnici s obzirom na evidenciju Twinsa od 4-6 u posljednjih 10 utakmica.

Topa, 35 godina, ima ERA od 8,05 s xwOBA od 0,376 i nema nastupa u MLB-u u 2026 — čist dubinu za Triple-A afilijalnu do Toronta dok Blue Jays sjedi na 29-32 sa razlikom trčanja od -8.

Jesús Sánchez iz Blue Jaysa izlazi iz utakmice sa modricom na desnom zapešću od predmeta kojeg je bacio navijač

Sánchez (.285 AVG, .461 SLG, 6 HR u 55 igara) napušta vanjske igrače Toronta tijekom serije protiv Baltimora gdje Blue Jaysi imaju 29-30 i pobijedili su samo 3 od zadnjih 10 unatoč xwOBA tima od .276.

Blue Jays Imenuju Austina Votha, Biraju Haydena Juengera

Vothov ERA od 9.00 pri minimalnom radu učinio ga zamjenjivim iz rotacije; Toronto (29-29, serija od 4 pobjede) dodaje dubinu bullpenu s Juengerom dok Gausman (3.13 ERA) i Cease (3.05 ERA) sidre tim.
