Twins Make a Bevy of Moves

Already wracked by injuries and under performance with three everyday players on the DL, and only two players batting over .227 entering this afternoons contest against the White Sox, the Twins have sent two more players to the disabled list, and demoted one other.

This time it's slugging DH Jim Thome, and 4th outfielder Jason Repko who will be placed on the 15 day DL, while backup catcher Steve Holm has been demoted. The players being called up are Ben Revere, shortstop Trevor Plouffe, and either Danny Lehmann or Rene Rivera.

Twins Tidbits

Joe Christensen of the Star Tribune updates us on a couple pieces of Twins news;

The Twins have signed Jason Repko, formerly of the Dodgers to play center field for AAA Rochester. Given the lack of depth the team has at that position, he'll serve as emergency depth should something happen to regular starter Denard Span. For a whole host of reasons the Twins hope that's an insurance policy they never have to make a claim on.

Clay Condrey who's trip to the DL was discussed on this site, will be out for at least two more weeks with what GM Bill Smith said is a flexor strain, or at least that was the result of his MRI. One would assume Condrey would then undergo a brief rehab stint before being able to rejoin the club.
