In Wednesday's game against the New York Mets, Willi Castro left early due to mild right oblique tightness, prompting Carlos Correa to take over defensively after leaving Tuesday's game with a sore left wrist. The Twins remain cautious about Castro's status and face uncertainty about potential roster adjustments with right fielder Matt Wallner heading to the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring sustained during Tuesday's game.
First base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt was struck in the head by a line drive in Wednesday's game but walked off the field under his own power for further evaluation at a local hospital. Meanwhile, pitcher Pablo López, recovering from a hamstring strain, awaits clearance to potentially join the team in Atlanta, with the possibility of returning to the active roster next week. The Twins also acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Miami Marlins for cash considerations, with corresponding roster moves pending announcement.
