Twins recall lefty Genesis Cabrera, move Alan Roden to 60-day IL
After using six pitchers to get through an 8-5 loss to Detroit on Saturday night, the Twins recalled Genesis Cabrera from Class AAA St. Paul to help the bullpen get through Sunday’s series finale.
A veteran with 296 major league games under his belt, Cabrera, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Twins on Aug. 12 after spending parts of this season in the Mets, Cubs and Pirates organizations. He made one appearance for the Saints, allowing two hits (one of them a home run) and a walk and fanning one.
To make room on the 26-man active roster, the Twins optioned right-hander Travis Adams to St. Paul. To make room on the 40-man, the team transferred outfielder Alan Roden to the 60-day injured list, ending his season. He has a sprained left thumb and is scheduled to see a specialist on Monday.
Roden, 25, was acquired from Toronto in the deal that sent Louie Varland to Toronto at the July 21 trade deadline. He hit .158 with a home run and one RBI in 12 games for Minnesota before injuring his thumb while sliding head first into home plate last Thursday.
