Twins' Luke Keaschall: Bound for big leagues
The Twins plan to select Keaschall's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
With the Twins currently dealing with injuries to Royce Lewis (hamstring), Willi Castro (oblique) and Carlos Correa (wrist), the team will call upon Keaschall to provide a healthy body capable of playing in the infield. The 22-year-old prospect has only started at second base (and DH) in the minors this year, though he also has a bit of experience at first and in center field. He owns a .727 OPS with five RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases through 14 Triple-A contests this year and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Twins' Royce Lewis: Doing some light baserunning
Lewis (hamstring) will do some light baserunning Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
While he won't be running full-bore, this appears to be the first time Lewis has run the bases since he suffered a strained left hamstring in mid-March. Lewis has also taken on-field batting practice and gone through defensive drills this week, so he is making clear progress. That said, it's uncertain when he will be ready for a rehab assignment, so a target for his return to the Twins' lineup remains up in the air.

Twins' Pablo Lopez: Set for rehab start Saturday
Lopez (hamstring) will make a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Lopez got through a 31-pitch bullpen session Wednesday without any issues with his right hamstring, clearing the path for him to make a rehab start. It should be the only one he needs before rejoining the Twins' rotation, which can happen as soon as April 24 against the White Sox.

Twins' Matt Wallner: Officially placed on IL
The Twins placed Wallner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
A strained left hamstring forced Wallner to exit Tuesday's contest early, and he'll now be forced to spend at least 10 days on the injured list. The Twins haven't provided any details on the severity of his injury, so it's still unclear if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay. While Wallner is out, DaShawn Keirsey will likely receive the bulk of starts in right field, and Jonah Bride will fill the open roster spot after being acquired from Miami on Wednesday.

Twins' Michael Tonkin: Cleared for rehab games
Tonkin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Tonkin landed on the 15-day injured list before the season with a right shoulder strain, but he's ready to test things out in a game setting. Barring a setback, the veteran reliever will have a shot to rejoin the Twins' bullpen before the end of April.

Twins' David Festa: Fans six in abbreviated outing
Festa came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Mets, allowing five hits and a walk over 4.1 scoreless innings. He struck out six.
The 25-year-old right-hander had an impressive, if short, performance, tossing 51 of 76 pitches for strikes before exiting the mound. Festa also got plenty of help to preserve his scoreless outing, as Harrison Bader threw a runner out at the plate in the second inning and Danny Coulombe escaped the one-out, bases-loaded jam he inherited in the fifth by getting Juan Soto to ground into a double play. Through his first two starts in the majors this season, Festa has yet to give up a run over nine innings, posting a 1.11 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB, but he also has yet to pitch the full five frames necessary to qualify for a win. If he sticks around on the big-league roster, he'll aim to give the Twins more length in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the White Sox.

Twins' Jonah Bride: Shipped to Minnesota
The Twins acquired Bride from the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by Miami on Tuesday, and Minnesota elected to trade for him with Willi Castro (oblique) and Matt Wallner (hamstring) being the latest Twins players to suffer injuries. Bride went 4-for-40 with 15 strikeouts through 12 games for the Marlins this season, but he was productive in 272 plate appearances last year with 11 homers and an .818 OPS. Therefore, it's a good opportunity for the Twins to add some much-needed infield depth with upside.

Twins' Willi Castro: Exits with oblique injury
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that Castro left Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Mets in the eighth inning due to tightness in his right oblique, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Castro started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double before departing with the injury, which Baldelli described as minor. With Carlos Correa dealing with a hand injury, the Twins may need to call up another infielder if Castro isn't available for the team's next game Friday in Atlanta.

Twins' Matt Wallner: Going on IL with strained hamstring
Wallner will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Wallner exited Tuesday's game against the Mets after tweaking the hamstring, and an MRI showed a strain, necessitating a trip to the IL. The severity of the strain isn't clear, so it's uncertain how long he might be shelved. DaShawn Keirsey started in right field in Wallner's place Wednesday and is likely due for an uptick in playing time in the immediate future.

Twins' Matt Wallner: Might be available off bench
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Wallner (hamstring) could be available off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
Wallner was forced to depart Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness and was set to undergo an MRI. The results of that imaging haven't been revealed, but Baldelli doesn't seem to believe Wallner's absence from the lineup will last long.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Could be available off bench
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli indicated that Correa (wrist) could be available off the bench Wednesday versus the Mets, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Correa's left wrist, but the fact that he might be available to enter mid-game suggests Baldelli isn't overly concerned about his shortstop's health. Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter in Tuesday's contest with soreness in his wrist after fouling off a pitch. Consider him day-to-day.

Twins' Pablo Lopez: Throws bullpen session
Lopez (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
The session went off without a hitch and now the Twins will wait to see how Lopez's right hamstring responds Thursday before they determine the next steps. Lopez is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list April 24, and it's possible he's ready to go on that date if he continues to progress.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Won't start Wednesday
Correa (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
After fouling off a pitch during his third plate appearance of the night in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-3 win, Correa was seen shaking his left hand in discomfort and was visited on the field by manager Rocco Baldelli and a team trainer. Following a brief conversation, Correa was lifted for a pinch hitter, and the Twins relayed afterward that he was dealing with a sore left wrist. He'll sit out Wednesday's series finale and will undergo an MRI as the Twins look to glean more information regarding the extent of the injury. Willi Castro will fill in for Correa at shortstop Wednesday, opening up a spot in the starting nine at third base for Brooks Lee.

Twins' Matt Wallner: Not ready to start Wednesday
Wallner (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Wallner's absence from the starting nine comes as little surprise after he was lifted early in Tuesday's 6-3 win due to left hamstring tightness. The Twins are expected to send Wallner in for an MRI on Wednesday, but the severity of his hamstring injury isn't yet known. DaShawn Keirsey will draw the start Wednesday in right field in place of Wallner, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the Twins provide further word on his situation.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Set for MRI on wrist
Correa, who left Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets with a sore left wrist, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. "The wrist is something I've been working on since spring," Correa said. "Just strengthening it, and I just felt a tweak on the swing and miss and then when I hit the foul ball, I felt pain in the area. It shouldn't be anything too serious."
Correa appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's series finale due to the injury. More information about his status will be known when the MRI results are disclosed, but the fact that his wrist issue dates back to last season is worrisome.

Twins' Harrison Bader: First three-hit effort this season
Bader went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Mets.
The speedy outfielder drove in a go-ahead run on a ground ball in the fourth inning, pushing Minnesota on top 3-2. Matt Wallner (hamstring) had to exit Tuesday's game, and Bader is a candidate for additional at-bats until the former is healthy. Bader could be a sneaky source of power and speed for fantasy managers in a more consistent role, as he's batting .255 with three home runs, 11 RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base through 47 at-bats to begin the season.
