Minnesota Twins' Matt Wallner could start a minor league rehab assignment this week

With Carlos Correa on the concussion list, Brooks Lee is getting to remind everyone how slick of a shortstop he is. Entering Monday, Lee has not committed an error in five starts there while displaying an accurate arm. He got the start at short again Monday night against the Cleveland Guardians at Target Field.

Lee definitely looks more comfortable playing short than he does second base. In fact, he has committed three errors in nine games at second this season while not committing an error in 30 games on the left side of the infield.

He will get a stretch of games to get settled in at short while Correa recovers but must be ready to move around as needed.

“I think getting regular work in one spot can help guys,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We move guys around probably as much as any team in the league. We kind of have to, or else we become very static and unable to do much.

“If we’re going to hesitate to do that, Brooks is, I think, going to continue to move around the field. But knowing you have a young player that can just move over to what’s clearly one of the most difficult positions to play on the field, and just take it, claim it, and do a very solid job out there for you, it’s a good feeling. And he’ll be ready. No matter what we ask him to do, Brooks will be ready.”

Before Monday night’s game, former Indian, brief Twin and now Guardian Carlos Santana was honored for winning his Gold Glove last season with a video highlight package.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.Savannah Sutherland of the University of Michigan women’s track and field team has been named the 2025 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Women’s Track Athlete of the Year, as announced by the conference on Wednesday (June 18). It is her third straight year earning the honor, the first time in program history a Wolverine has won three in a row.

Sutherland captured her second national title in the 400-meter hurdles and her third straight top-two finish at the NCAA Championships on Saturday (June 14). She ran a personal-best 52.46 seconds to finish 2.20 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher and set five records — the NCAA record, the NCAA Championship meet record, the Big Ten record, the Michigan program record and the Canadian national record. She earned first team All-America honors for her performance.

The senior is now just the second runner in NCAA history to break 53 seconds, with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone setting the previous collegiate record of 52.75 in 2018. Sutherland is also just the third athlete in program history to earn multiple individual national titles. The time comes in at No. 9 in the world on the all-time performance list and is tied for the second-fastest time in the world this season.

Sutherland also ran the second leg of the 4×400-meter relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, running 50.71 for the fastest second leg and second-fastest split of the race. The relay squad finished 19th overall with a time of 3:33.75 to be named All-America honorable mention.

The Borden, Saskatchewan, native capped an impressive career in her final season for the Maize and Blue, winning her third straight Big Ten title in the 400-meter hurdles before setting the NCAA East First Round meet record (54.39) for the second consecutive year. She also helped set the program record in the 4×400-meter relay twice this season and earned a third-place finish at the Big Ten Championships.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Mountain West student-athletes turned in one of the best national meet performances in Conference history last week at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The league captured five individual National titles, three National runners-up and amassed a combined 29 First and Second Team All-America honors to go along with another 10 Honorable Mention awards.

The five first-place finishes tied the Conference record set in 2005 for most in a single season, while the combined eight first-and-second-place finishes are the most in Mountain West history. The 29 All-American nods were also the most since 2019 and tied for the second-most all-time.

Four of the national championships came on the women’s side, setting a Conference record. New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei led the way, sweeping the 5,000-meter (15:33.96) and 10,000-meter races, setting a NCAA Meet record in the latter with a time of 31:17.82 and earning a pair of first team honors. Colorado State senior Mya Lesnar capped a stellar Ram career with a first-place finish in the shot put, winning with an opening throw of 19.01 meters for a first-team nod. Wrapping up the women’s title winners was Fresno State senior Cierra Jackson, who won the discus with an NCAA meet record throw of 65.82 meters, which also came on her first attempt. Jackson added an eighth-place finish in the shot put (17.70m) to garner two first team All-America awards.

New Mexico freshman Ishmael Kipkurui took home gold in the 10,000-meter race with a time of 29:07.7 and added a second first-team nod with a seventh-place finish in the 5,000 meter (13:25.18).

The Conference saw three silver medal performances with Lobo sophomore Habtom Samuel taking home two in the 5,000-meter (13:20.89) and 10,000-meter (29:08.73) races, while San José State senior Emilia Sjostrand earned her highest NCAA finish of her decorated career with a second-place finish in the triple jump (13.88 meters).

Overall, New Mexico had a league-high 12 first and second team All-America honors, including a 16th-place finish by its women’s 4×400 relay team (Rebecca Grieve, Lou-Anne Pouzancre Hoyer, Hanna Kiess and Sofie Pineda) for second team status. In addition to Pamela Kosgei, Ishmael Kipkurui and Habtom Samuel, Lobos Marion Jepngetich (5,000-meter; 4th; 15:35.14) and Matthew Kosgei (3,000-meter Steeplechase; 9th; 8:31.14) picked up first and second team accolades, respectively.
