Twins placed INF Luke Keaschall on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm fracture.
No word yet on exactly how much time Keaschall is going to miss, but fantasy managers should anticipate a multi-week absence. The 22-year-old top prospect was off to a torrid start at the dish, hitting .368 (7-for-19) with two RBI and five steals in seven games, prior to suffering a non-displaced fracture in his right forearm when he was hit by a pitch during Friday’s showdown against the Angels. There should be a clear return timetable in the coming days.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
