Matt Wallner
The Minnesota Twins have placed Wallner on the 10 injured list after straining his hamstring last night. Wallner has been off to a decent start through 18 games this year for the Twins. He has seven runs scored, 15 hits, five doubles, two triples, one home run, and three RBI. Wallner has a .263 batting average with a .847 OPS. The expected return time from the announcement is that he would be eligible to return on April 26th. Whether or not that happens is too early to tell.
Willi Castro
Castro was removed from this afternoon’s contest with a mild oblique strain. Details concerning the timeline for Castro’s injury will come after the game or tomorrow. Tough day at the ball park for the Twins, injury news-wise.
Summary
The Twins injuries seem to be ongoing. Castro was pulled from the game today. There are no details on the severity of the injury. The Twins also have a wrist concern for Carlos Correa. The team is now without Pablo Lopez. They will look to carry this series win over into Atlanta. They hope to come home and take care of business against the White Sox starting next Tuesday.
