Game 103: Twins at Tigers
I’m struggling to think of a trade deadline in recent memory with more roster churn than the Twins are experiencing now — and they haven’t even made a deal yet. With the health status of the 26-man in constant flux, the team has already returned Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda to the infield fold, with Carlos Correa due behind them in what is hopefully short order. As a result, folks like Edouard Julien have returned to the minors, and others like Kyle Farmer remain in IL limbo.

Minnesota prepares for influx of patients from Iowa as abortion ban takes effect
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota medical providers and public officials are preparing to welcome patients traveling from Iowa, where a ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy goes into effect Monday. On Thursday, Minnesota’s Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan toured the Whole Woman’s Health of Minnesota, a nonprofit abortion clinic in the city of Bloomington. She welcomed Iowa residents who were seeking abortions after the state’s new restrictions take effect. Previously, abortion was legal up to 20 weeks of pregnancy in Iowa. Last July, the state’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a new ban on the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy, which is often before women know they are pregnant. There are limited exceptions in cases of rape, incest, fetal abnormality or when the life of the mother is in danger. Sarah Traxler, an OB-GYN based in Minnesota and the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood North Central States, said Iowa’s law could have ripple effects throughout the region.
