Minnesota Twins

Wallner was left hobbling after beating out an infield single in the opening frame. It’s didn’t look great. There should be an update on his status shortly after he undergoes further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the issue.

Stewart is still a couple weeks away from returning to Minnesota’s high-leverage mix, but it’s a great sign that he’s ready to kick off a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old righty has been out since spring training recovering from a left hamstring strain.

No surprise here following Vázquez’s early exit from Monday’s game with a right hand contusion. The positive news here is that X-rays came back negative and he likely will avoid a trip to the injured list.

The Twins’ prolonged slump here has meant a lot of lineup shuffling of late. France hit fourth once previously, but that was versus a lefty. Matt Wallner moves up one spot to third tonight. Willi Castro is batting eighth after mostly hitting second and third lately. France is batting .288/.354/.441 with two homers through 65 plate appearances.
