Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

The switch-hitting Polanco remains limited from the right side of the plate as he manages a side injury, so he'll take a seat as the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the bump. Cal Raleigh is in the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Mitch Garver starts at catcher.

The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

Minnesota optioned Gasper to Triple-A less than a week ago, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club after super-utility man Willi Castro (oblique) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Gasper will serve as an emergency No. 3 catcher and will provide depth at three infield spots as well as left field, but he's unlikely to be in store for regular playing time after going 2-for-18 at the plate over 10 games in his initial stint with the Twins this season.

Maton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

The left-handed-hitting Maton finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher. After slashing just .167/.298/.313 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate over 57 plate appearances to begin the season, Maton's time as a strong-side platoon player for the White Sox may well be over. Expect the White Sox to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot rather than deploying Maton as their primary option.

Bell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

After James Wood led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot, Bell also took Tomoyuki Sugano deep in the same frame for his fourth homer of the year. Bell does have 10 runs and 11 RBI in 22 games, but he's otherwise had a rough start to 2025 -- he hasn't produced a single multi-hit performance, leaving him with a feeble .141/.256/.321 slash line.

Steer started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

Steer returned to the lineup after a day off Tuesday and started at first base for the third time in the last four games. Prior to this, he had been limited to designated hitter duty only. Steer is 4-for-13 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in his three starts in the field. He can play multiple positions and has been working on throws from the outfield, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. Steer's not putting a timeline when he can play other positions but said "it will be soon."

Diaz went 3-for-6 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Diaz established a season high with three RBI on Wednesday, and he also hit two doubles in a game for the first time this season. The veteran infielder now has six multi-hit performances in 2025, and he's been hitting for some more power lately. Over his last 14 outings, Diaz is batting .293 (17-for-58) with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and seven runs scored.

Keaschall went 1-for-3 with one walk, one run scored and two steals in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Keaschall got on base in the third and seventh inning, and in both frames he showed off his speed by stealing second base. He's up to five stolen bases, which is tied for most through the first five games of a major-league career since 1901, per MLB. Keaschall has gone 6-for-17 with four walks, four runs scored and two RBI to start his major-league career.

Larnach went 2-for-3 with one walk, a solo homer and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Larnach logged his first RBI in the fourth inning on a single that brought home Edouard Julien, and the former gave the Twins the lead in the sixth frame on a solo homer off Jordan Leasure. Larnach has belted homers in back-to-back games and in three of his last five outings. Over that span he has gone 6-for-17 with two walks, five runs scored, three home runs and five RBI.

Pederson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

The lefty-hitting Pederson will grab a seat on the bench Wednesday against the lefty-throwing JP Sears and the A's. The 33-year-old slugger's absence will put Jonah Heim at the DH spot while Kyle Higashioka starts behind the dish.

Suzuki was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist discomfort, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The 30-year-old started the previous five contests after sitting out three games due to the same issue last week, but he presumably aggravated the injury during Tuesday's win while going 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run. Justin Turner will step into the lineup at designated hitter while Suzuki is considered day-to-day.
